I got board today and tried to install windows xp pro under wine...
Hmmm. I wonder if there is a VM (Virtual Machine) available for Linux. I've managed to install Linux and Windows itself (While experimenting with slip streaming) using a M$ VM under XP.

I installed Windows XP a couple days ago on my Macbook with Bootcamp. It runs flawlessly, and all of the features are still supported, including all of the volume function keys, etc.

Plus, it's dual boot; I can flip back and forth in a couple of minutes. No Vaseline required.

There have been Linux-based Virtual machines since they first came out
YOu have: VMware, Qemu, Virtualbox which does your basic virtualmachine (and if you have a new KVM capable CPU you get no slowdown)
To hypervisor kernels like Xen

At one time i had 4 different os's on my 40gb laptop. I had xp pro, Ubuntu 7.04, Kubuntu 7.04, and SimplyMepis 6something. Since then i am back down to 2 os's on my laptop (ubuntu 7.1 and xp pro) same on my desktop. Linux is set to default in grub.

I would but I only have an 80GB hard drive. I don't know if I can without reformatting everything and repartitioning. For dual boot it auto adjusted the partitions.
