It sure would be nice to run Windows Vista on my Linux desktop for a few
work-related tasks.  This machine already dual-boots. I want to be able
to copy/paste from one environment to the other.

Wine provides an emulation environment -- I'm looking for real Windows.

I've read about Xen and we're using VMWare Enterprise at the office.
I'm unclear about the first, and I can't afford the second for a home
solution.

Is this something anyone is doing on Fedora? If so, what are your
recommendations and caveats?


You can use vmware-serve which is free, or use qemu, kvm, xen which is
included in fedora, depending on your processor's capabilities.

Isn't there also a restriction on what versions of Vista you can virtualize? I remember reading something about Vista home not working. (Microsoft restriction.)
