VirtualBox with GNU/Linux might be the better option, or just a GNU/Linux partition.

People predict XP emulation in Vista 7 will only be good enough to run, “green screen cobalt” applications. It’s hard to believe it could be that bad because Parallels, Crossover Office, Wine and many others have done very good XP on gnu/linux for the better part of a decade. M$ is new to the game and Windows has always been clumsy when it comes to sharing devices, so this may be true. The sad fact of the matter is that Vista broke compatiblity and Vista 7 won’t get it back. People who want to run XP applications on a modern OS are better off using gnu/linux.
