[CoLoCo] Fw: Instantly save $20 OFF Parallels Workstation 2.2 for Windows and Linux

[Andrew]

I tried out VirtualBox the other day, and tested it out by installing
win98. Seemed to work ok. I'm sure it would work fine for those who
would want xp. I just installed it as a test. It was interesting doing
a windows install from within linux. I will probably remove win98 now
that i'm done with the test.

Not sure if it supports directx or any game stuff, you'll have to do
research into that, but it certainly would run any win apps anyone
can't live without.
