Now this is interesting, although its probably not the first attempt at doing this. VentureCake's article shows you how to run a Windows XP Professional virtual machine in Ubuntu, and run the applications seamlessly on your Gnome desktop. Look I haven't tried it, but it looks pretty impressive.
A bigger screenshot would have really helped, but it was enough to see that Internet Exploiter 7 was now polluting their Gnome desktop. I'll have to test it to see what the performance is like, but I'm not holding thumbs. It is virtualisation after all.
