Thanks for all of your suggestions. Elsewhere i've read that, having a regular dualboot, one could acess XP through Linux and have XP believe it was running the system instead of actually running within a window. Whatever means this is, it does use the dlls of the fat/ntfs partition. It has the adfvantage of not having to reboot if i just wanna do something quick; and the advantage of having XP isntalled in a separate partition, meaning if something doesn't work well i could just reboot.
At the moment the only use i have for XP is for games, which i seldom play anyway. I have Half-Life 2, Quakes 1, 2 and 4, Soldier of Fortune 2 and Thief 3... Mostly shooters which usually are demanding as far as graphics and framerate go. I have a lot of guests so occasionaly i do reboot into XP, which is annoying, i'd rather open a window within my session. I've heard a lot about VMware and afaik using wine would not really cut it, even though wine's not an emulator. I'll dig into VirtualBox, Xen and kvm. Other suggestions? -- Fica bem, porta-te mal.
