Forgot to add my hardware specs for compairson.

I have run XP on top of Fedora 7 & 8 (Also tried vmware under 7). I
have found VirtualBox to be more light weight and seems to consume
less resources overall.

I have a Athlon 64 3000+ w/ 1GB of memory. XP is usable and most of
the less demanding actions could even be considered "snappy". Just be
careful of how much memory you allocate to the virtual machine and
don't try to use to many programs.
