I keep a Vista Laptop for the USB hardware and Windows-only software

Hi,

Have you tried VirtualBox? I have Windows XP running in a virtual machine which I run on my Ubuntu 10.04 desktop.

I can access my USB devices and can run all my Microsoft Windows specific software on it. I have been using this in a production environment for over a year without a problem.

Note that if you want USB connectivity you need to use the version released directly from Oracle rather than the OSE version in the repositories.
