I was using VirtualBox and left an XP instance running for awhile, and forgot about it, but it eventually took down the whole system! It's safer to get it out of the Linux box altogether. I value the stability of Linux, but running Windows inside of Linux jeopardize that. I still use XP in Vbox sometimes, but with trepidation. I prefer to use a separate machine with some kind of remote control between them (e.g., VNC) and sharing of disk drives. Mike
