Another option is to use the FTDI chip with the Mac OS driver and present the serial port to windows as a plain serial port (COM1 or COM2) using the com port preferences configuration window.  I use that all the time for both Windows 98 and Windows XP under Virtual PC (and Guest PC) rather than letting Windows use its FTDI driver.  I've pretty much switched over to Windows XP because the Propeller Tool won't run under Windows 98, but I've consistently been letting the Mac OS handle the FTDI devices.

I have also used the Keyspan USA-19QW high speed serial adapter with all the Stamps using the Mac OS driver and Virtual PC.  Virtual PC also works fine with PIC programmers like the PICkit1 and PICkit2 although I prefer to use the Mac interfaces.
