A machine is just a machine, so using Wubi or installing into a new partition means that you are not running Ubuntu "on" Vista if you do that. Virtualbox will run on Vista, although there are still a few bugs there, it's nothing that should stop you trying it. Out of the box, it will provide a shared folder between the host machine and the VM guests, which is very handy. http://www.virtualbox.org/ Virtualbox is dual-licensed, the source-only release "Virtualbox OSE" is under GPLv2, but the free download installer is not. Noncommercial use will be fine. VMWare will also do the job, but it isn't open sourced in any way. -jim
