Ubuntu and Linux & Open Source mentioned on BBC - this is getting big

[Mac McIlvaine]

How well does Ubuntu run XP in a virtual box? I have a couple of 
programs that use sound and midi heavily and would like to find a 
way to use them.

I'm looking for ways because on new machines with only sata, my old 
XP cd won't load and I've been unsuccessful at slipstreaming the 
XP CD.

Most Windows users have become blind to the fact that Windows, 
compared to Ubuntu, is actually a much harder system to learn.  It's 
just that they all learned Windows out of necessity and are now used 
to it.  They call it easy to use, I call it 'Microsoft forcing you 
to deal with their crap."
