If you have a licensed copy of Windows and about 8 gigs of free space, I would recommend you try first installing SUN's xVM VirtualBox and installing Windows there. They've made Virtual Machines configuration as easy as possible and if your PC's processor has Intel-VT or AMD-V hypervisor support, all the better, because VirtualBox makes good use of it. It required use of IE7 and installing the Silverlight component and answering a few questions regarding which local affiliates I feed from. Don't delete the cookies otherwise you'll have to answer those questions again.
It is Sunday morning here in Herkimer, Upstate New York and I am enjoying watching the Basketball games over VirtualBox with a Windows XP guest VM running on an HP Pavilion Turion64x2 and openSUSE 11.0 x86_64 host operating system.
If you are feeling conflicted, well then I understand, just don't watch the Olympics.
