I do! Runs fine! On a Toshiba Tecra M2, it actually runs World of
Warcraft faster than in Windows XP on same hardware!

Thanks.* I tried Wine but some things run and some don't.* I'm hoping the CodeWeavers
program works with more programs so I can get rid of Windows completely.........Cheri

Title: Signature Home Chastity




You can download it and try it before purchasing it... So definitely
worth a try. But not all Windows apps work.



TomTom Home 1.0 does (requires some tweaking)

TomTom Home 2.0 doesn't



You can always run Windows inside VirtualBox for those incompatible
apps.

Will a "restore" disk, rather than a true OS, install Vista inside VirtualBox?

Depends. Some restore discs check that they're on the right type of
hardware. Some (I believe Dell's discs are like this) don't care and
will happily install on whatever they're put into. My HP discs won't
even install on another model, but I restored a friend's Compaq from
someone's Dell discs.

Hoping is good, checking is better

It calls for either a physical OS disk or the .iso of a disk...........Cheri

Thanks for the links.* I did look in their database but couldn't find anything
about Lightscribe disk labeling.* That's one of the things that won't work
with Wine........Cheri

A restore disc is still usually a physical OS disc or can be made into
an .iso :-)

The answer depends on where the restore disc came from, whether it
checks the hardware before installing.
