I know someone who used Fusion, and likes it a lot. If you want to use
one or the other, I would say whichever one is less expensive, since
they're probably equivalent, and you can find people who love one, and
hate the other, or vice versa. If you could find a couple people you
know that have one or the other, you could see how they work and
compare them.
Hmm, would VirtualBox work with XP without SP2? I ran into this
problem with Boot Camp, since you have to have XP with SP2 and I have
an extra copy of XP pro (that's not SP2)
