Easily one of the best guides I've come across and amusing to boot.

Cheers mate, have a pint on me

@Boris .. yes, you can do that. Open Windows in VB and then click on Devices > Shared Folders, and store your docs in there. But. Have to say, you'll be wanting a fairly beefy PC to access your Shared Folder quickly.

Big cheers m8.

Hey, Gov!

Good stuff on your page(s). I have just moved up to Karmic, and want to a documents partition. Since I use Open Office (in Ubuntu and in Windows), I think I should be able to read Open Office files from either OS if they are on the common documents partition. Right? (Or am I out to lunch?)

Also wanted to thank you for your piece on VBox. I have used VBox previously with XP and Jaunty. Haven't gotten that far yet with Karmic and W 7 because I upgraded the CPU and HDD.

Anyway, thanks for your good info. Keep up the good work.

Boris
