I'd second this. I currently share the same message base between WinXP and WinXP(VMWare on Slackware 9.0) and have had no major problems. Because I am using VMWare and dual harddrives (one WinXp the other Slackware I created a Fat32 partition on my Slackware drive that I share via Samba so my VM/XP machine can attach to it as a network drive. My standard XP see's it fine and I just assigned a drive letter. The only problem I ran into was downloading dupes in one account after I first set up the VM/WinXP, but that could be because I missed a registry key (I edited the registry on both systems so TheBat!'s message base is on the same drive letter, leaving TheBat! program files in the default c:/program files/path.
