As a programmer, I love to have Linux on my desktop. Not only Linux is free, its also easy on memory and cpu utilization when compared to Vista or even XP. Microsoft OS also gets bloated with all the 3rd party firewalls and AntiVirus softwares which are required before plugging into the network.

However, there are still few instances when you need to run software(s) which are only supported on windows. Some people prefer dual-boot machines for this, but since these days most of the new desktops (even laptops) are coming with dual-core and upto 4gig of memory; I prefer running windows inside a virtual machine. In this article, I will give some details on how to install Windows OS as a VM using Virtual Box.
