    VMWare-Player is the the greatest. With this I'm able to run a full version of Windows XP (in Ubuntu) for those rare apps that don't work in WINE.

    It doesn't work within windows 7. I tried to run linux and networking doesn't work. Also video doesn't work very well, I can't use higher than 800x600 resolution. Hopefully they'll fix it in the next version.
