Screenshot of Windows virtualized on UbuntuWith a little help from my friend Jon I was able to successfully virtualize Windows today. I have spoken in a previous post about Innotek’s Virtual Box. For this little project I decided I would use it again. Everything went off with out a hitch. I was even able to find an easy way to install Virtual Box’s Guest Additions brought to you buy Google.com.

The final piece of this puzzle is one I am not looking forward to. The software needs to be registered with Microsoft and I have heard they are not very friendly towards users who virtualize their operating system. Because I am using a previously registered copy (off my old computer) I will have no choice but to call their tech support to get this situation resolved.
