I would put everything on the Mac side. Except for some music  
applications that run only under Windows XP. I have two macs right  
now where I run everything in OSX (audio app's, internet, business  
stuff) and it's working flawlessly. As soon as you put your internet  
business on the XP side you need to start fighting with antivirus  
software etc. Maybe your you can use your time for more rewarding  
activites?

Why "emulation"? Are you implying that you want to run Windows  
version of those office applications, but from the Mac side? Of  
course that is possible, but you shouldn't do it at the same time as  
you are running sensitive and CPU demanding audio software. No matter  
which system you run them under, audio app's should have full access  
to the system and hardware recourses.
