Virtualbox OSE followup

["Jerry Feldman-2" <user=4@nabble.blu.org>]

 Last summer I installed VMWare Server with Windows XP as the guest os 
under Ubuntu Feisty Fawn. In general it worked well, but the reason I 
did this was so my wife you view the Big Brother feeds on Real Player. 
You simply can't authenticate on RealPlayer for Linux. The problem was 
that the images tended to freeze after a short time. Actually, VMWare 
player might have been a better choice. More recently I installed 
Virtualbox OSE again with XP as the guest and Ubuntu Gutsy Gibbon as 
the host OS. Yesterday I used my wife's account to log into the Big 
Brother feeds, keeping a can nearby so I could throw up :-). Real Player 
worked well with the feeds working as they would native. 

So, I would think that Virtualbox OSE is a pretty decent product. Not 
sure what I might do with it because there is really nothing I need 
Windows for. I do need IE for some web sites, but I can do that under 
WINE.
