For me it worked very well. I already downloaded a Ubuntu image from
their site and installed Windows NT Server 4.0 on another image. Then I
had to face the problem of downloading service pack 6a with IE 2.0. Well
now it works.

This is incredibly cool, for me this significantly reduces barriers to
running $FAVEDISTRO at work - often there are packages I need to use
regularly that are windows only. For others, it may make the idea of
playing around with $DISTRO for the first time more appealing, while
continuing to run windows. Perhaps this will be a good alternative to
qemu? (run faster? easier?)
My downloads will begin when I go home for the day and I'll play when
I can . . . My new computer I'm about to build for work will get an
extra gig of RAM now I think!
