We all know that Ubuntu just can’t run some of the great applications that are only available for Windows. I have also ran into a problem where Windows Vista and WIndows 7 won’t pick up certain hardware and there are no available drivers for them. Well, that sucks. There is an easy solution. Forget VMWARE.. it is garbage. Forget Parallels workstation.. it is also junk. QEMU is awesome though. Simply go into Synptic Package manager and search for qemu. Install qemu and the gtk gui package for it. BAM! You have a virtual machine. Now create your hard drive for your machine, tell it the OS you are putting on it and set up your boot device. Install Windows and have a nice day. That’s all there is to it.

I also installed Dropbox on it and synced files with it. Very nice feature.
