[AccessD] Windows can be so much fun

I beg to differ. When running VirtualBox or Hyper-V or any similar product
on a 64-bit OS, the more RAM the better. As a semi-retired person, I'm
getting by with a mere 4GB and I run Ubuntu Linux as a VirtualBox VM while
running Windows 7 as the main OS, and it works well even with only 4GB of
RAM.

My main problem is how to install an instance of Windows XP as a VM inside
VirtualBox.
