The other day i want to install ubuntu on my windows xp sp3 using vmware. Then i finally remembered wait a minute, why not try virtual box. I've heard some of my friends talking about virtual box from sun microsystems. I thought of giving it a shot.

I went and grabbed the latest bits of Virtual Box 1.6.4 for Windows platform through the link at http://virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads It was just 22.57MB and was a quick download. Then i installed using the downloaded setup and installation was pretty smooth and got installed in a few secs.
