XP has a tcp connection limit, so unless you have <10 users that won't work.
I sure hope your DB is not IO intensive, that doesn't sound like a rock solid
setup really...
You need to also pay *SERIOUS* attention to vb's bluff on writeback to the
underlying OS or if anything goes wrong, you *will* be left with a corrupt
block device. You can tune this parameter.
Personally I would use vmware server if had to do this, but that's just me...
