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.<br><br><font face="sans-serif"><span style="font-size: 14px"><i><font color="#333333">Sent via David's Droid X.</font></i></span></font></div><br><br>-----Original message-----<br><blockquote style="; border-left: 2px solid rgb(16, 16, 255); margin-left: 5px; padding-left: 5px;"><div style="font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 14px"><b>From: </b>Jason Friedman <jason@powerpull.net><b><br>To: </b>CLUE technical discussion <clue-tech@cluedenver.org><b><br>Sent: </b>Wed, Oct 13, 2010 02:35:17 GMT+00:00<b><br>Subject: </b>[clue-tech] Windows 7 recommendation<br><br></div>Hi,<br>I will be getting a laptop at the office shortly with pretty decent<br>hardware and 4G of RAM.

I will need to use<br>Windows 7, too, from time-to-time throughout my day for specific<br>applications that have no Linux equivalent. Thus, a dual-boot<br>solution would be awkward.<br>Is it possible to boot into Ubuntu and then run Windows from it in a<br>separate window? I seem to recall having VMware installed on a<br>computer some years back where I was able to do that.<br>Your advice is appreciated.<br>Jason<br>_______________________________________________<br>clue-tech mailing list<br>clue-tech@cluedenver.org<br><a href="http://cluedenver.org/mailman/listinfo/clue-tech">http://cluedenver.org/mailman/listinfo/clue-tech</a><br></blockquote></body></html>
