In answer to your questions, no. I use VMware extensively in both Windows and Linux, but shy very far away from XP. It may hurt my career as an author, but I don't care. It sucks bad. If the install validates against MSes Piracy Control servers, you should have no problem updating anything. I've even run .NET Enterprise Server in VMware and used Windows Update.
And that leads me to a rather humerous idea. If everyone used VMware to install XP then you'd have countless installations whose hardware ID would be identical, thereby effectively crushing MSes attempt at quashing "casual piracy".
