I saw a XP (I think) box running Ubuntu inside a VirtualBox.  What
really impressed me was the switch to "Flawless" mode, at which point
there was the XP start bar at the bottom, Ubuntu's app bar at the
top ... and X and Windows windows seemingly playing happily together ...
if I wasn't an acolyte of the Church of Emacs, sworn to never run any
non-free software, I'd probably use that.
