FWIW, my XP virtual disk (under VMWare Fusion) is confined to only  
6GB, and is pretty functional. Directory sharing (between OSes) works  
quite well, and this helps to keep the size of your virtual disk down  
(i.e., you can keep all your data files on the OS X side).  Moreover,  
if your virtual machine crashes, your other (OS X) apps are  
unaffected.  Note that I've personally found Fusion to be a bit more  
functional than Parallels (used with both Ubuntu and XP).
