Isn't virtualbox GPL ? For the non Free part of running windows, if your goal is to run windows only legacy software, chances are it's not Free as well.

- Piskvorrr 13y agoGood point - but seems better to me to run a single specific, non-free app (which may or may not depend on the manufacturer's servers to function), than to add another non-free dependency to it (i.e. XP), which definitely _does_ require manufacturer's permission (i.e. activation servers) to function normally.
- archangel_one 13y agoYes, but you'd have to install Windows onto that, and it's not.
