Sorry, Virtual Machine ie VMware or something like it. I'm actually
close to being in the same boat. Currently a dual booter and very
close to ditching my XP altogether. 2 things are stopping me: World of
Warcraft and Native Instruments Traktor. I'm setting up a Win2K VM lab
over the weekend to see if I can run these apps in the VM environment.
