Pfft, you young-ins don't know how good you have it with 8GB of RAM for virtualization + host. I ran Windows XP using VirtualPC on an 867MHz 12" PowerBook G4 with 640MB of RAM back in 2004. And we had to walk up-hill in snowstorms, both ways. And we liked it. Okay maybe we didn't enjoy it, but after disabling every graphic feature in Windows to the point it looked more like NT 4.0, you could do what you needed to at least.
