I really want to get away from that and just use Linux.


Can't blame you. I'm running Vista on a Boot Camp partition on my Mackertosh and I've never wanted to dropkick my monitor so frequently and so often. But it plays most games much faster than OSX, so I endure it, and also I don't feel like I live in a leper colony for deformed gamers, with no access to helpful tools or fresh drinking water.

I've also got an Ubuntu partition and it had never occurred to me to try it your way. Maybe I'll give that a shot sometime.

It works amazingly well. I run XP in a VirtualBox for a few things, like printing greeting cards. And I still haven't been able to get my webcam to work under Ubuntu. But aside from the launcher, the Sims works great, and everything else I use is open source.

This. I never realized how much Windows annoyed the hell out of me until I got away from it. I still keep the game installed on my Mac partition, mostly out of stubbornness, but the performance is definitely better under Windows.
