Still having doubts about making the full switch to Linux?

There's really no need to...

I've just installed Windows XP Pro on top of my Ubuntu Feisty Fawn installation, using VirtualBox.
This guide will tell you how to do this: HOWTO: Seamless MS Windows in Edgy with VirtualBox and Beryl!

You don't have to dual boot anymore, as you can use Ubuntu & Windows at the same time, without having to logoff, switch screens or whatever.

Still not convinced? This screenshot will show you what I mean
Anybody that's using Linux, but still needs some programs only available in Windows should try this out. I'm sure you'll like it!

Of course, the only thing that's still a problem, is games. VirtualBox supports 3D, but not fully. So (for now) don't expect to play 3D games in it.

Hmm, it's not really a blog... more like "development site slash blog".
Nice of you to drop a comment though :p
