XP: Known Software Compatibility Issues?

[Moby Dick]

Hi,

I just learned from one of the members that there seem to be compatibility issues when installing Windows XP (see thread Macbook Pro: Advice, anyone? under buying tips). (Thanks BiikeMike!).

Now, I wondered whether some of you have experienced problems with the following software, when running Windows XP on a Macbook Pro (Vista has posted compatibility issues anyway, so that is for now out of the question):

- SPSS for Windows
- Questionmark Perception (Version 4)
- Adobe Captivate (version 1.1)
- Articulate?

Is there a difference running these over bootcamp or parallels?

Any advice is more than welcome.

At least one person here reported success with SPSS:
