+1 for VirtualBox, it can run in seamless mode. CR -----Original Message----- From: wlug-bounces(a)list.waikato.ac.nz [mailto:wlug-bounces(a)list.waikato.ac.nz] On Behalf Of Peter Reutemann Sent: Sunday, 15 November 2009 5:41 p.m. To: Waikato Linux Users Group Subject: Re: [wlug] windows thru Linux
Alternatively there is VirtualBox (a Sun project - I can't recall off the top of my head how the licensing works for Virtual box)
You can either get an open-source edition (OSE) or the full package, which is still free of charge if for personal use or evaluation purpose: http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Editions Personally, I use VirtualBox quite a lot, to test-drive applications in various operating systems. VirtualBox also has this nice feature of "snapshots". Snapshots allow you to roll back to a certain point in time, e.g., if you only want to install some software for testing purposes. Take a snapshot before you install the software and when done with testing, roll back and the modifications are gone completely.
