I installed virtualbox/winXP yesterday, it works really well. I am running photoshop in it and the performance is good. You do need a reasonably beefy machine, I have a Dual core athlon(around 2ghz) and 3gb of ram.<br><br>
The only thing that wasn't working was USB, but this can probably be fixed fairly easily, I just haven't looked into it yet.<br><br>Mj<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Thu, Jul 10, 2008 at 2:38 PM, Michael G Fletcher <<a href="mailto:michael@ilovemylinux.com">michael@ilovemylinux.com</a>> wrote:<br>

</div>Hi Norman, I run VirtualBox and have installed a working copy of<br>
WindowsXP. you can then install the windows application in the<br>
windows machine.<br>
<br>
You can either get it through the repositories; "sudo apt-get install<br>
virtualbox-ose" or you can download it from <a href="http://www.virtualbox.org" target="_blank">www.virtualbox.org</a> (better<br>
to go with the open source edition via the repositories)<br>
