The virtual machine data is in its virtual harddisk. If you share the installation, you also share all the files and worksheets. I would recommend you set up a separate Sage server that the XP machines can access over the network, this is what Sage is designed for.

If you don't have a Linux/OSX machine to run the server on, you can also use the virtual machine as a server. But a few steps would be necessary to secure it; Right now its security relies on the virtual network only being reachable by the host computer. I should probably write down the steps to using the VM as a network server somewhere, but I haven't yet. Let me know if you want to go that route...
