Hi Scott,
Thanks for the reply. Can I also do this:
  1. Buy a machine with windows pre-installed
  2. Turn it into a dual-boot linux machine
  3. Run linux as the host O/S
  4. Run windows as the guest O/S (using the already installed windows,
rather than having to install windows again)

Is the host O/S running at full speed, and it is only the guest O/S that
experiences some virtualization overhead?
