Very stable, and by virtue of the 'saved state' created when closing down VPC, it re-launches much faster on the Mac than on most PCs. Plus, you get that 'eerie' bonus of seeing the MS logo, and whatnot, coming up on a Mac screen. But, seriously, it's stable, and if you use XP instead of Win2k you also have full drag-and-drop between the MS OS and X. Very handy. ~flipper
