So how is this a Windows XP question? Why would users bother with VMware
since they could use the LiveCD Ubuntu to boot it from a CD and run it from
there without ever having to install it (until they decide to keep it)? If
they decide they want to install it on the hard drive, they could use
VMware's player but they could also use Microsoft's VirtualPC player -
assuming they really need to have both the host and guest OS running at the
same time, have the hardware resources for such, and don't mind a
degradation in performance in both OS'es.
