I was able to share some folders in Windows and then browse to those shared folders from the VMware guest Ubuntu OS. I think there is some default samba stuff already running looking for shared folders. I think I had to set something in the VMware player to say that I trusted the guest OS to allow it to modified my files. It was pretty straight forward (but I am not sitting in front of that computer right now and it isn't booted in Windows right now either, so I can't check the exact details).

I run VMWare Player and it works fine - easy to setup and easy to setup a Matlab replacement. I only wonder how to transfer files between the Windows XP and the Ubuntu VM?
Apart from using usb sticks (AFAIK VMware still has issues with usb 2.0 though) I think the experts usually call a samba or ftp server on the linux side the cleanest solution. The ultimate thing in terms of user friendliness would be if the numpy virtual appliance already had that pre-configured!
And now let the experts step forward to announce better and easier solutions...
