I'm hoping I qualify for this as well if not I might send a begging email to 
them, I bought mine just before Christmas, I think, so fingers crossed as I 
cant afford another £90 odd.

I had a play with MS virtual PC but it was crap, like you I'm very impressed 
with it I like the fact you can have pretend scsi drives as well and you can 
access the Windows via /mnt/hfgs the only thing I need to learn is how to 
make the window smaller, petty requirement but if I use 1024x768 I have to 
keep doing ctrl alt so that I can scroll the display.

I can use 800x600 but then everything looks jammed in, ideally I'd like the 
window to be 800x600 size but the display set at 1024x768

I've sneaking suspicion V5 addresses this I'm sure I saw something in the 
read-me about it but I only had a couple of hours to play with it on Friday 
and the only thing I could load was Mandrake 10.

When I get back to my office on Tuesday I'll look at the FAQ again trouble is 
if it works really well I might end up just running Suse within VM as I'm a 
lazy so and so. 

Actually I'd like to keep the dual boot I just get fed up of rebooting.

Whoa careful, agreeing with me can seriously damage your popularity :D
