Hi Larry, Thanks for your advice, Actually I haven't run Windows for prolonged time. Neither I need Windows. Recently in a MS conference I was a lucky winner getting a true copy of Windows Vista, Ultimate edition in Lucky Draw. On the packing it has been clearly indicated that this copy is NOT for sale NOR transferrable and VALID for ONE PC with FREE licence. However my happiness ended after unpacking it at home. There was a piece of paper packed inside mentioning that the FREE licence was only valid for ONE YEAR. As curiosity I installed Windows Vista on an 64 bit Athlon PC with 1G RAM, only the OS w/o other softwares installed such Open Office, Firefox, k3b, AVG, etc. It worked w/o problem. I thought instead of allowing it taking up the whole 160G HD better installing it on VirturalBox. Let it sleeping there until the licence expired. I'll try to find an obsolete 10G/13G ATA HD as its home and let it rest there until the end of its day. B.R.
