I used VPC 5 with Windows XP Professional on a 12" PowerBook rev A. VPC 5/XP WAS slow, but that's because I ran it with almost all the pretty graphics turned on. Turn off the eye-candy, and VPC will run faster. It also helps if you leave programs open and have VPC save the state of the PC; that way, you don't have to start up the programs every time you open VPC. Finally, many people say that Win 2000 runs faster on VPC than Win XP does, but I've only been able to test the latter.
Unfortunately, VPC 5 rarely seems to work with Panther on my new rev B. PowerBook, and so I've abandoned it for Microsoft's MUCH faster RDC client. At some point, I'll probably upgrade to MS Office 2004 Pro (w/VPC 6).
