I know my grandad uses VMWare's Fusion (like Parallels, but IMO better) because his (old) scanner's drivers are only Windows and OS9 unfortunately...many Mac users use Windows to test their websites on the platform...
Just curious... why spend $80 on VMWare and another $100 on an XP license to run an old scanner when a new one which is compatible and probably better would be around the same price as VMWare itself.
