<p>Win7 works well for me. If you get Win7 Pro, it can run a free XP VM in MS VirtualPC. I managed to transplant the XP into its own vm in vbox. I intend to avoid Win8 as the second coming of Vista.</p>

Hi folks,<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
I want to buy(!) and run either Windows 7 or Windows 8 OEM in VirtualBox<br>
<br>
on top of Ubuntu, to replace my aging XP VM image.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
I can't find much on how Windows 8 performance and stability compares to<br>
<br>
Windows 7 in VirtualBox. Does anyone have any experience with either?<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
thanks,<br>
