Well, on that computer it will probably be pretty darn slow, but
give it a shot. And no, you wouldn't have to reinstall Xubuntu,
just go to this address:
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Linux_Downloads">http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Linux_Downloads</a> and click the
appropriate link for your computer (Ubuntu version and whether it is
x86 or 64) install the .deb as normal and you are ready to go.<br>

After launching your other OS instance, you
need to do "Install Guest Additions" from the
devices menu, and then Seamless Mode should
appear in the "Machine" menu.<br>

So you get a Windows taskbar as well as you
normal Xubuntu panels, and when you launch a
Windows application its window appears over
the top of your normal Xubuntu desktop. It's
quite cool!<br>
