Yeah, VMWare is good and I've used it before, but of course, it probably is much better since I last used it. I'd use Linux on my PC, but I don't want to ruin the XP install I have going on at the moment. I will when I get a new, separate hard drive for it. I have my 500GB external, but it's only for storage (I use WAY too much disk space).

When I have the chance to actually try it out on this hardware beast (since my laptop is nowhere near good enough to run XP via VMWare due to it's crappy chipset, CPU, RAM and graphics card), I'll try to see if the online games I play work on it. Last time, they didn't. Maybe this time they will...and hopefully so will The Sims 3. I love that game! *-*
