It may be possible to switch between 2 hardware setups, windows does come with support for it (take for example when you use a laptop with a port replicator), although I have very little experience in setting up alternative hardware configs in windows so can't give you much more info.
You shouldnt get much of a performance hit (if you have the right hardware/software component you can get close to 90% performance), BUT you currently are not able to do things like 3D graphics very well and support for some things may be shoddy (because the VM drivers have to sit between your hardware and what the VM see's) I'm suprised you cant get your WM5 dev to sync to Evolution, I dont have too many probs doing it (Dell Axim x51v, WM5 AO5).
