How to run Windows Applications easily under Ubuntu Linux. Yes!

October 20th, 2007

And have a really good feeling that I removed my Windows XP Partition:

In case - whatever it will be - I really need to run a Windows Application under Ubuntu Linux, I launch Virtualbox and it works. Damn

Finally, Here is a step by step tutorial how to run Windows under Ubuntu Linux by using Virtualbox

sudo apt-get install virtualbox - Download and install Virtualbox
Launch Virtualbox (Applications -> System Tools -> VirtualBox) and create a new Virtual System by clicking on the Add Icon
Insert your Windows CD and install the Virtual System from CD just as if you’re setting up a new computer. Remember the Serial Number starts with FCKW-xxxx…
Launch your Windows XP System inside Ubuntu Linux and do whatever you want. This is the most crass comparison between Linux and Windows, and - hell yes - you will see why Ubuntu Linux is the superior one!

Here is a Picture of me running Windows on Ubuntu Linux, and I really hope you liked my short Howto / Tutorial on this Topic!
