I installed VirtualBox on my Ubuntu Hardy Heron installation, and I would like to use it to virtualize Windows for those rare occasions that I actually need to do something there. Unfortunately, I don't have an installation disk at the moment, but I do have Vista already installed on a partition (it came with the machine). Is there a w...

I need to detect whether my application is running within a virtualized OS instance or not. I've found an article with some useful information on the topic.

Hi, In few months I start a project in PHP and I am hesitating to do like usual : develop on my Windows Vista 64bits machine.
