I am installing XP now. It's taking a little while.. I'm at an hour and a half right now.. But, I'll update with the performance once it's installed completely.

Well.. performance is sluggish. But still faster than I've ever used in VPC. I suggest giving it a try if you're on an Intel Mac.
Also, as I said before. Once they build in the Virtualization settings into the program it's going to be a heck of a lot better. Anyhow, it's usable.

I was thinking of putting XP on my Intel iMac but decided against it. I'm waiting for VPC and I'll just use that.

Oh hell no! I'm just doing it, because I can!
Don't worry, I wouldn't trade in my Mac for a PC anyday

I will leave the experimenting to Vexel and keep XP on the PC at work.

be prepared to wait
M$ ain't too interested in Windows on a Mac and the Mac Business Group at M$ don't want to know from nothing, but Office
I will be testing out iEmulator's universal emulation to allow windows on intel macs
will let you know how it goes when i receive the sfw.
