[clue-tech] Windows 7 recommendation

[David "Barahon" Willson]

Vmware's P2V assistant can turn your Windows 7 install into a VM. You'll  
need admin rights, but Pete Nordahl can help with that. Once you've  
virtualized the 7, you're free to do whatever you want. I'd go Ubuntu,  
VMware Workstation, and a bunch of VMs, one of which will be your Windows 7  
domain member.

Subject: [clue-tech] Windows 7 recommendation

Hi,
I will be getting a laptop at the office shortly with pretty decent
hardware and 4G of RAM.  Windows 7 will be preloaded and I will not
have administrative rights.
I run Ubuntu at home.
I was hoping to run Ubuntu at the office, too, as most of my work
requires a browser, SSH client, and mail client.  I will need to use
Windows 7, too, from time-to-time throughout my day for specific
applications that have no Linux equivalent.  Thus, a dual-boot
solution would be awkward.
Is it possible to boot into Ubuntu and then run Windows from it in a
separate window?  I seem to recall having VMware installed on a
computer some years back where I was able to do that.
Your advice is appreciated.
Jason
