That bit about the graphics is interesting. Granted, XP emulation mode isn't geared toward gamers or people with overly demanding applications (I'd imagine), but it's a bit of a surprise to see that two third-party virtualization companies - Parallels and VMware - have been able to reverse-engineer and implement up to DirectX 9.0c (maybe not fully, but shader support is now there), whereas Microsoft has no DirectX support in their own virtualization solution. (Yes, I know that VirtualPC was originally a separate company that was purchased by Microsoft, but that purchase occurred quite a while ago.)
