No muss, no fuss, no Wine, no VM's needed.

I thought that was kinda the point of you bringing it up. Why all the cartwheels to get GSpot to tell you the same thing? Seems mega-redundant to me, and a shitload more work.
Haha..no hardon for GSpot here, although a 'G-Spot Tornado brings about a nice volcano'. But I do have some other apps somebody wrote for me, but they only run under windows. I like to use these, but I don't want to reboot, so therfore my interest in a VM. Thanks for all the hints, tips!
