Just a couple of questions

[illuminate]

okay. First, i did the 2 month, or w/e linux test. I ended up using it for 4 months->until school started.

The reason i stopped is because i'm taking Visual Basic this year, and for my online classes I use a program called "gp4" created by "gatherworks" It's a live classroom program.

Anyways. I tried gp4 in WINE, but it doesn't work.

So, I'm thinking that i might be able to run a VM through Virtual box for Visual Basic 2008, and Gp4. But, i need USB, headphone and microphone to work (i listen to the teacher, and then sometimes I'm called on during class to talk).

I love Linux, but because of the classes i had to stop using it.

Also, dual booting isnt an option. I have to work on the HW for the classes during the week, and restarting irritates me.

So, would USB,, Mic, and audio work in a Xp x32 VM? and seeing that i have 4gb of ram running the VM wouldnt be the issue.

Thoughts?

It should all work as I have those devices working in VMWare WS6. I'd assume they work just as well in Virtualbox 2.x, but have not tried it yet.

Yes, you can do that in VirtualBox, but not the open source version. On the bright side, the full version is also free of charge:
