I have Ubuntu as my host OS and I run other OSes like Oracle Linux, Windows server and openfiler appliance.. Seamless mode is so cool…I don’t miss the ssh client I used in windows because I can paste straight from web pages or pdf docs.

mullo,

If you’re looking for a free Windows XP machine, I’m afraid you’ll have to roll your own. The articles linked to above, in the “Installing Two Operating Systems With VirtualBox” section, should provide some context to that regard; if not go ahead and ask MakeUseOf Answers. They’ll hook you up.

If you want free Linux virtual machines, check this out:

I’ve run virtual machines for a long time on both Windows and Linux hosts. When I discovered recently that I could copy and paste between host and guest using VirtualBox I was completely blown away.

I’ve been using VirtualBox to run Windows apps in OS X for a year or so now, and love it. I started out with Parallels, but didn’t want to pay so much to upgrade. My Windows needs are few, but when you need it, you need it, and VirtualBox does the job.

> But these [OSX booters] are illegal
That is questionable, both inside and outside of the USA.

Seemless mode is pretty great though
