Regarding playability of games under XP, don't bother. I've had it installed for a few months now and about 25% of my games are no longer playable.
Most of these are Windows 3.1 and DOS era games, but I received a demo disk from one of the PC gaming mags that had only 1 (out of 6 or 7!) demo that worked under XP.
Granted, those games that do work are usually flawless and smooth. But caveat emptor.
