I used to dual-boot, but that became a pain. I can't run Orcad, and I do miss
VB, but everything else is fine. Your studies won't last forever, so keep an
older Win machine for that stuff. The amount of free s/w for Linux is amazing.
Properly written s/w for Windows will run under Wine, least the older stuff
does.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

Okay, it's an Oracle product :-( but it seems to have improved noticeably since
the Sun days.
I run Windows XP in it, mostly for my wife.
If you want to keep your existing Windows hard drive, what I do is defrag it,
run sdelete over it, and then dd it to a file. There's a utility that will
convert it to a virtual disk.
The only problem is that it probably then won't boot under VirtualBox because of
the wrong drivers. I have yet to crack and fix that problem, although I have no
trouble copying existing partitions.
Oh, and you need a machine with a DECENT amount of ram, preferably 4Gb or more.
Cheers,

I haven't tried super recently but at least previously I found it quite
difficult to get WoT to run under wine, I certainly wish you the best of luck
but don't expect this to be easy.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]
