Hi,

Have you tried VirtualBox? I have Windows XP running in a virtualmachine which I run on my Ubuntu 10.04 desktop.

I can access my USB devices and can run all my Microsoft Windowsspecific software on it. I have been using this in a productionenvironment for over a year without a problem.

Note that if you want USB connectivity you need to use the versionreleased directly from Oracle rather than the OSE version in therepositories.
