Install Windows 7 inside of Ubuntu (or any linux distro) with Virtualbox

You need to install Virtualbox here http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Linux_Downloads. The right ctrl button unlocks and locks your mouse cursor to the guest OS. The guest OS in this case is WIndows 7, but you can install almost any OS in Virtualbox.

@missanythingcall, yes along with many packages. This is an old install, I can't even remember which Ubuntu version this was.

[switch1080]

@gshaw1997 The theme is one of the options in Appearance, I cant remember which one. The dock is AWN, but I now use Docky as it looks much cleaner.

Yes. Although, I would suggest a dual boot for gaming. For everything else, it works great.

@mujurulz33 Thanks a lot! I'm going to try that since I was installing windows xp! Maybe the previous versions of windows don't have the update to be able to boot from other operating systems or something!! But, thanks I will let you know when I try it out!
