Shared data.  Under linux, you can setup a samba share (or use samba
homes).  Under XP, you can map a drive to the samba share and use it as
your home directory.  Same goes with printers.  I have also found that
VMPlayer will use only one core to 100%.  Regardless of the CPU load XP
asks for, you still have the other core to run linux procs.

Enjoy,
