I'm using VirtualBox for an XP guest running on xubuntu 8.10, very few issues really, it just works. It certainly runs the whole of Microsoft Office 2003 without any issues, including an Access database.
Thanks for that - will go and get it then.
I need it to continue using my internet software - if it had run properly in Wine...
