Windows XP on Linux Mint (Virtualization)

Most of the time the inability to move totally on to Linux is that some softwares aren't working well even in WINE on Linux (yet). But it is really annoying to move on to Windows and back to Linux when we want to run certain softwares on both of the system. But how if it's possible to run windows inside Linux?

That is possible using the process called "Virtualization". This method is not very new but still is developing. There are bunch of virtualization softwares but some use lot of resources while others do a petty job with less resource eating.

VirtualBox is one of the nice low weight softwares used for virtualization. So I though of using it for a while on my Linux Mint machine and see how far windows can go inside Linux. Still doing some configuration stuff. So I'm leaving here showing you the first welcome note from Windows XP running inside Linux.
