20110502UU -- 32-bit Ubuntu With 64-bit Win7?

[Soare Catalin]

Hi Bruce,

If I'm not mistaking, you have an OEM license for your Windows, which means
you probably won't be able to activate after P2V.
I believe your best solution becomes dual-boot, and maybe, if you have the
time you could check if your apps can be run under Wine?

Cheers!
