 I use Virtual PC under Windows for running Windows 98 (to run an old 
application which won't run under XP) and I have run Windows XP (as a 
virtual test/development environment for WebSphere). It works very well 
for those applications. I haven't tried running anything else yet except 
a homegrown boot loader. AFAIK it works very well.
