OT: Virtual PC vs "Real" PC

[Sannyasin Sivakatirswami]

I'm coming to a point where it's imperative that we see how things look 
on Windows machines. Up to now have just been "winging it." But that 
won't do in the long run.

Question: Is Virtual PC on the Mac a reliable representation of the 
user experience on a real PC running Windows?

Obviously there can be underlying hardware issues that Virtual PC 
cannot address, but for now just the presentation, font sizes, etc. is 
what i am looking for and, aside from rev presentations:  viewing web 
pages in IE5-6 on Windows... to see if the CSS is rendering as 
expected...

Does Virtual PC really do a good enough job? Or do I need to 
requisition a cheap Dell running windows 2000. The "lo-end" Windows 
user experience would be the target.

Which leads to the next question, should we test under 2000  or XP?
