Have seen procedures for using VMware Player to install a new system
over an existing downloaded image.  Can't create a new VM from scratch.

Can't answer that one definitively, but I know VMware Workstation under
Linux does have some overhead with the services it starts, so I'd guess
that there would be something similar running for XP VMware Player.
