Hi, I have two laptops running Windows (XP Pro and Vista Ultimate) and I have bad experiences with VirtualBox. Presently, I use VMplayer and everything goes fine...
I have experimented Wubi (Ubuntu under Windows) and the conclusion was a lot of crashes or SAGE and even refused to build... I will try AndLinux to see how is goes but VMware is good for me...before a native Windows version.
