    Hello all:
    I have the following:
    iTouch
    Zune 80GB

    I am running LinuxMint 4.0 on an Asus A8JS (T7200 core duo, 2GB RAM, Nvidia 7700 w/512MB VRAM,250GB SATA HDD). Which of the VM products (Parallels, VirtualBox, VMware....etc) would let me use the iTouch and Zune 80GB on a VM windows xp install?

    Thanks
    Alex

    VMWare server would allow you to run the windows xp host inside it, though you will have to mess around to get it recognized.

    :)

    Install VMWare server, for the host, if youre using xp home, use 256 ram for it, if pro give it 512. You shouldnt have to worry too much about the video and such, but install vmware tools to get the graphics and such a bit nicer.

    Aside from that, shouldnt be bad at all.
