Hi, I wouldn't say that running XP or Vista under Linux using a vm software like VM Ware is exactly dire, but you will notice some slow down and proformence los by doing so on computers with less memory and older processors. However, with Vista using it under VM is horrible even with the Arrow service turned off and a 2.4 GHZ processor. Vista really needs at least 3 GHZ to run good and 1 GB of ram absolute minimum if you are going to vm it.
