I haven't tried "XP on less than a P4", but XP is not a lot more than a new shell on a caponised version of Windows 2000 Terminal Server, and I've run that on a non-MMX-Pentium-100. It's a lot closer to usable than OS X on the much faster PPC 604e on my 7600.
XP is no more usable on a P100 than 10.1 is on a 7600/120.
It's still a pity Adobe pulled on the choke chain when it came to porting
Photoshop to Yellow Box and licensing DPS cheaply. If Rhapsody had come out
on schedule with good performance on first generation PCI Powermacs...
When the Rhapsody project was started [1996] PCI Power Macs were in the beginning of their second or third generation depending on how you count [x500, then x600, then x300 models].
What you say about Quartz is true, but it also does a lot more than Quickdraw good or did.
