The netbook UX images doesn't work on VMs at present to my knowledge, as
3D acceleration support is not available. I'm not sure how SJVN managed
to get it to work in VirtualBox (I tried the same technique and it
didn't work for me either), but it might be worth getting in touch with
him directly to find out :)

However, the MeeGo SDK includes a chroot + Xephyr server environment
which _can_ be used to run the MeeGo UX in a non-netbook environment
(with 3D acceleration):

However, you'll still need to be using a modern Linux distro on hardware
which supports MeeGo, namely:

* CPU: 32bit Intel(r) Atom(tm) or Intel(r) Core(tm) 2 CPU (support for
SSSE3) 
    * Note: MeeGo will not work on non-SSSE3 CPUs
* A compatible Intel graphics chipset: GMA-500, Nvidia, and ATI chipsets
are not supported
