I can't speak for WinXP but under Win2K we've played with a few of the various USB webcams talking to our PIGs. They worked Ok, but they're not stunningly great performers in terms of image quality, especially if you push them hard. 

I found a better solution is something like the Osprey-50 USB capture device with a good video camera (we've generated 12Mb/s h.261 at CIF streams which look very nice :-) ). 

Of course, the cost goes up quickly, as does the space taken up in your laptop bag... :-(

Cheers,
