What is the current state of play with Parallels, Leopard and XP?

[drscience]

Could someone please summarize quickly the current state of play with Parallels under Leopard running a native VM with XP SP2? From what I can gather, the latest beta (5580) sort of works, though it may need a new serial number even in the US (?); what sort of problems am I likely to encounter? I have plenty of disk space, plenty of RAM, and a thoroughly debugged single VM that's worked in all previous versions.

NOTE: No need for the usual beta disclaimers--I've been beta testing for years now, and understand the general risks. I'd just like to know what the risks are in this case.

Thank you in advance.

Yes, that's simply the link to the beta download, but doesn't contain information about issues and compatibilities. I was hoping to get some hands-on experience from users.

I am on the current beta and find it to be more stable than the previous betas.
