Ubuntu, Windows and Virtual Computers

Wed, 08/19/2009 - 3:25pm — youngbill

At the July 2009 General Meeting Hank Skawinski promoted Ubuntu as a better operating system (OS) than Windows. Hank showed us his new netbook computer that dual-boots Windows XP and Ubuntu. He booted into Ubuntu and showed us many of its features. Hank noted that Ubuntu cannot run some critical Windows programs, such as TurboTax, Quicken, QuickBooks, and Photoshop. This keeps many users from considering Ubuntu.

Using a virtual computer, I am running Windows XP and Windows programs, including the above programs, in Ubuntu. As a timely follow up to Hank's talk, Hank and Jim Dinkey asked me to describe to the club members how I do this.
