On to my real question: I really hate Windows. I really, really hate the fact that I need to have it up and running sometimes (I have yet to fully break free from my accounting software which uses Explorer for navigation, and some microprocessor debugging tools only work under Windows).
It's about time to upgrade the Ubuntu in my work desktop; I'm thinking of wiping the whole thing clean and doing a fresh install, then installing VirtualBox (for which there's a native Ubuntu install!!) in which to run Windows XP for that dang accounting program and for those few proprietary chip debugging environments that just have to have Windows. So: Does anyone have any experience with VirtualBox? How'd it go? Any gotchas? Anything I should know before I just start happily installing software? Is there a way to import an already-working hard drive image, or do I just have to install Windows fresh in a new virtual machine?
