For those that have some form of need for a VM and have not yet checked out virtualbox, I suggest you do so.
I've been a heavy user of Win4Lin and qemu for years now. I tried VMWare but it just never grew on me. I now have a need for a good VM to be actually productive so I decided to give virtualbox a try, and *wow*. It installs windows about 35% faster than qemu with kernel acceleration and overall it's guest integration stuff is just much smoother. I'm about to drop some $$ on a mac mini (I need a practically silent desktop) and I had planned to triple boot macos, ubuntu and XP, but this is so good I suspect I'll just run XP in a VM under ubuntu instead! Colour me impressed!
