Hi Chris, Well, at the moment I an currently running Windows 7 in a virtual machine using VM Ware on top of Ubuntu 11.04. The problem with that solution is that it is very memory and CPU intensive as Windows 7 eats nearly a gig of memory in of itself, and ever since Microsoft added the 3d Windows Arrow interface and better graphics and animations the op requires a lot of CPU power to run. Running Windows 7 in a virtual machine is a real performance killer, and running apps in it drags my laptop down to a crawl. My hope here was be able to get some games etc to work under Wine so I can just dump Windows completely from my machine since it is a needeless CPU and memory hog when running.
