WiresFree. Re XP Lite in VM mode. Tks for the link.  Just as a point of security, by having XP lite in VM, are there potential security issues?  If so, what could they be and how are they minimised without having to have bloatware?

Running Windows in VM you still need to take "all" Windows security measures,
no matter what you read.
It is still vulnerable to all the same Windows exploits...

Just to add to Wirezfree.... Microsoft no longer supports XP - So no patches.. AV software is migrating away...
A VM is like any other physical PC, on the internet the same rules apply... a Windows VM on LX or OSX is just as susceptible to a virus or the alike as any Windows systems.. Being out of service increases.. If its on a segregated network with no access to the internet less risk...
How much risk you're willing to accept, is up to you...
