Lot's of questions, first, how did you get Compiz Fusion to work in a virtual machine? I have VM Workstation 6 on XP and can not get Ubuntu Gutsy to work with Compiz at all.

2 where did you get that awesome windows theme for XP. It's like Royale & vista rolled into XP. What program did use to get those icons in XP. Very nice overall.

I think it's Ubuntu in native mode, because openGL acceleration it's not enable in vmware...

this was a little more involved to get setup, but is very interesting as it shows the evolution of MacOS from 7 to 10

Nice, but missing some steps. Mac OS 9.0.4 runs pretty well with Sheepshaver. I had Mac OS 8.1 running with SoftMac8 under XP Pro under Parallels 2.5, but I didn't have much need of running 680x0 apps after all.

Also, I can't see how you all are able to work with the OSX dock on the bottom of the screen.

I had some trouble with Parallels, it did not start any Virtual OS. But it's solved now - if you have same trouble, remember to check Intel VT or Intel Virtualization Technics settings from BIOS [<- when you are a n00b, you can only blame yourself]

This topic was "Post your virtualization screenshot" .... well, im sure someone has figured out this before, but :

Set up Spaces, and you can have Virtual OS on other Desktop as "Full" and you can switch between them with F8.
like in my photo...

Just open Paralles, and first OS. Push F8 and drag it to space2. Then open second, drag it to 3 and third...... Start them and use Full Screen mode and you have 3 - 4 os running, and by pushing F8 you switch

and as it seems, 3 OS running leaves some RAM free.. this is, if you - by some odd reason - need Windoze for something

Of course you can use Coherence, but i prefer this.

Well I got Parallels Desktop working. However I wasn't able to use my Vista partition off the bat. It would give me an error that it could not gain full access to the drive. Anyways, I got XP installed in a virtual drive and it works OK. It lets me use winamp!

Well here is my virtualization with Crossover, the advantage of this is that instead of installing a whole virtual machine (well, it does BUT) emulates .exe files like a mac application. Here is my iAtkos 5 emulating proyect64 (sixtyforce is a piece of crap) but is very unestable.
I also have VMWare and I will try now using it with Windows 7

Here's my Fusion 2.05 Win7 virtual machine, running a Dvico Nano2 digital tuner. There's no Aero desktop support, but the VM runs reliably in unity mode.

Picked up Parallels 5 @ Target last week for $60. LOVE IT! Also have Crossover (just upgraded after the freebie expired) but nothing running in it. Everything shown is in Maclook -> Crystal mode.

Not possible to do this in VMware. If you need to use FCP you will need either a real Mac or a Hackintosh.
