Came across this article this morning:

Looks like there's hope for switchers who need XP and can't wait for VirtualPC Universal

in a very very small nut shell its an emulation thats run at a kernal level which increases performance over stuff like VPC and VMWare

the good part is that you can set up virtual o/s in seconds
