A genuine question:
Which is safer, to install linux, and run XP in a virtual machine (I have
Office 2007 which AFAIK won't run in WINE yet) or to keep my current
installation of XP and Office 2007 and run Linux in a virtual machine for
browsing, newsgroups etc?
If the latter, can someone point me to some info as to what distros will run
in Virtual PC 2007?

ta!
