Looks interesting. I currently have a laptop running (only) Windows XP. Microsoft says I can upgrade to Windows 7, but I don't have any idea how; The laptop is not compliant. So I suppose I can buy a new computer. If I do, I have no idea how to get Windows 7 off the box in condition to install on a new computer. Anyone know if it's safe to run XP in a virtualbox intance even though it's old and no longer updated? I don't have media for XP but I do have the sticker on my computer; I believe that's the license. Anyone know how to get media I can use to create a virtual box instance? or where I should look? I'd really rather do this under linux. The alternative, buy a computer with Windows installed and use it as-is, is both more expensive and counter- productive. Thanks.
