Virtualisation in Linux aint free!

Can I please point out to anyone that thinks otherwise, that running XP under Linux requires a LICENSE for XP! What MS is offering is a free solution when you upgrade, no extra "hidden" costs involved as you essentially get a license included. (Albeit you will have the expense of buying a new PC maybe, but surely machines have to be replaced at some point??!!)

No matter what all you fan boys of Linux think, it's still nowhere near been a true replacement to Windows in the business environment, it's getting there don't get me wrong, I like Linux, and use to myself out of the office but would not yet would I consider deploying it as a replacement to Windows.

Also for all you XP lovers, you're running a 7 year old operating system which has been patched to the hilt, are you telling me you were still running Windows 3.1 in 99??!! Win7 isn't perfect but it's a hell of a lot better than XP and doesn't have all the sluggishness of Vista, so surely it's worth a try?
