Scott, As for the Windows 7 XP VM, it sucks in comparison to Sun's VirtualBox or VMware. I myself have both Windows XP mode VM installed and Sun's VirtualBox installed. I use Sun VirtualBox for all my XP needs. Reason I need XP is the Works Database is not 100% compatible with Windows 7's way of networking.
