VirtualBox has the ability to run the guest operating system with a transparent desktop, giving the impression that the applications are running natively on Linux. It also makes for really easy and seamless transition, and copy paste, between the Host OS and the guest OS. IE8 beta passes the ACID 2 test, which makes it fully standards compliant with CSS2 (as is Firefox 3, also in beta), but not compliant with CSS3 (it doesn't pass the ACID 3 test, but nor does FF 3 or any other browser) Free and Open Linux and Open Source Software. In a world without Walls and Fences, there's no need for Windows and Gates. Linux..... The Future..... It's here now.
