Windows XP(formerly .NET, Micro$oft's plan to kill Win-doze) sure won't, 
because it's an entirely new OS from what I heard. and if they don't 
work, you could always get an x86 emulator like Bochs(free, but doesn't 
emulate the Pentium RDTSC opcode and has a little problem with hardware) 
or VMWare
