Can you instal Windows into Linux?

[szaemon]

I here about using Wubi to instal Linux into a file on Windows, but is there a way to instal Windows into a file on Linux?

[arcull]

Not that I know of.
You can use however,something like Virtual Box,which let you install windows on a virtual partition within ubuntu.

As mentioned, virtual box is an option. Another is qemu.

However, if you are longing for a specific program, then you might see if it is supported on WINE (http://wiki.winehq.org/ImportanceOfWine). WINE allows you to run most Windows programs on linux, so that your transition to Free Software is smoother. There is another version of WINE known as CrossOver (http://www.codeweavers.com/products/cxmac/)

The advantage of virtual box and qemu are that you have a whole separate system. Another advantage of either, is that you can make snapshots so that when Windows succumbs to malware or Windows-bitrot, you can roll back to an earlier Virtual Machine image.

The advantage of WINE is that you do not have to maintain a whole separate system and that performance is good.

Can you say which programs you are looking for?
