Not quite sure what you mean by BAND Windows, but yes, You can. I'm doing this right now with VirtualBox. Windows XP atm, but I do windows 7 at home. This works surprisingly well on everything I've tried to use it for so far with a few exceptions: Gaming: While VBox has experimental directx drivers and such, I've never gotten very good results with it. You might have some older games that work real well with it though. Anything USB that isn't storage: You can pass through all things USB to VBox and use it as if it were plugged straight into the Windows machine itself. Storage devices like flash drives work well. Things like printers, scanners, webcams... not so much. | |||
