idx-tsunami on Windows XP?

[bryan rasmussen]

has anybody tested IDX-Tsunami on Windows XP? If so what have your
experiences been, any quick installation pointers?

Am wondering if it would make more sense for me to try to put linux
under my vmware or to proceed with trying to install on my vmware
windows. Would prefer to not have to install linux first as my last
linux install under my current vmware did not go too well.
