	That should work fine. I've got WIn7 32bit running in VirtualBox PUEL 
(from Oracle, not the repos) on Ubuntu 10.4 64bit. Once you get Win 
setup the way you like, set the Windows taskbar to auto-hide, and have 
VB switch to seamless mode. Then it will look like you're using Excel 
2010 in Ubuntu...
