If he needs XP regarding to it's advantages, than all advantages XP has
got are killed by Linux, when running it by virtual box.

IMO one shouldn't use Windows, but if there should be the need to use
Windows, e.g. because of the disadvantages Linux has got e.g. to
hardware support, than vitalisation is no solution.
