Is there anyway yet to run Vista as main and have Ubuntu running in background with compiz fusion?

Nope, you can't have 3D graphics in a virtual machine, regardless of OS choice. This is a limitation of current virtualization technology and not of any particular operating system. Unfortunately, this isn't likely to change any time in the near future.

Examples:

If you run Vista inside the virtual machine, then you can't use Aero. (And your experience score is 1.0 for graphics.)

If you run Ubuntu inside the virtual machine, then you can't use Compiz Fusion.

If you have .isos, you don't need to burn disks! You can load the ISO to the VM as if it were an actual disk!

thanx Gunner,
doing it now, the orange bar is going back & forth, I hope its installing itself.

Well I was hoping, but it stop dead on its trucks, a small black VBox window with a stationary line ( - ) doing nothing with the small CD icon at the bottom flashing, it could still be installing.

15 mts & nothing happening, draging in the Ubuntu .iso did not install ubuntu here.

I use VMware to run backtrack while on vista. Very handy indeed....

Thanks for bringing up the topic Error 10. You learn something new everyday.
I think this is going to spike my linux learning curve.

Error10 - one question.
Whats the deal with E21xx CPUs and virtualisation. Is it possible? I've been 'told' no. I would like to try it out, but if it won't work I won't waste my time.

You can't run 64-bit virtual guests since Intel didn't include the virtualization feature in that line of processors. You can run 32-bit virtual guests, but they will run slower than they would if you had a processor with virtualization.

Right. So x86 in an x64 O/S is good then. Will try it out.
