Well, and not a decade too soon!

And now that virtualization is the word of the day, I'm wondering if it matters now?

It may run faster, but is it simpler to just fire up a VM manager and bring up Windows?

I've been itching for a decent VM manager for my Ubuntu Feisty. Any good recommendations?

Is there anything in particular about VMware that doesn't suit your needs?

Well ease of installation is a big plus for me.

Isn't virtualization way slower, though?
