You'll have to assign about half of your PC's resources to the Win7 VM though - it's going to want half your cores and half your RAM to run well. You may be better off with one of these options though: 1: Install Office 2010 under Wine* 2: Use RDP to access Office from a Windows host 3: Mandate standard save formats (ODF/DOC) for all your users Regards *http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=17336 -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG http://mailman.dclug.org.uk/listinfo/list FAQ: http://www.dcglug.org.uk/listfaq
