How do you run software like Ovi Suite or other Windows software? Are you using Windows on a virtual machine?

I use Winodws 7 Ultimate x64. Since I got the N900 I've tried Ubuntu and it was great but I just can't migrate from win7 to Ubuntu. Maybe in time

I play Windows XP at work.

Mac OSX Panther on my old Powerbook Pismo.

Debian Testing on my desktop.

Windows mobile 6.1 on my O2 XDA Flame.

Maemo 4 on both my Nokia N800 and N810.

And Maemo 5 on my N900.

I think that's all...

Also using Linux exclusively for about 10 years, no dual-boot. I use Gentoo. It's great to finally have real linux in my phone.

Oh, also my TV (Philips) runs Linux and so does my wireless router (DD-WRT).

Before linux on my PC I would Dual-Boot between OS/2 (primary) and Win98 (games & few utils). Before OS/2 I used DOS, multitasking inside of DESQview. I've never been a full-time Windows user in my life.

How do I run Ovi Suite or other Windows software? I don't.

Linux Mandriva on lap-top.
FreeBSD on desk-top.
Maemo5 on palm-top ;-)

Depends on what games you play, many people use PS3 or Xbox 360 and are happy
