maconstuff.blogspot.com— A how to for using the QEMU virtual PC to load up a full install of Windows XP SP2 under Ubuntu Dapper.

Using the release version of XP pro does not work. It fails to correctly associate the CD key at the first reboot. You need to use a version with SP2 integrated. Performance is reasonable, but if you use the KQemu accelerator, it will run at near native speeds.
Do you have the Universe repositories enabled? (I assume you're using ubuntu.)Otherwise:sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.listThen uncomment (remove the #) from all the lines starting with #deb and save the file.

That is exactly what I need =) Use Ubuntu as the main os and windows for some of my programs. Thank You, great review.

Not correct, if you read the bottom of the blog post you can install SP2 after, using an 'F8', safe mode reboot.

No, you can also use QEMU with other operating systems, such as various linux distrobutions
