[Wylug-discuss] Running Windows with VirtualBox

[Smylers]

Hello. I've bought a new laptop, to run Ubuntu on. It'll come with
Windows 7 on it, and it might be nice to be able to run Windows 7 in
VirtualBox.

Any guidance for how to do this? Or more specifically, for anything I
should do to snaffle the Windows image from the computer before
splatting Linux all over it?

I'm guessing that Windows installation discs won't be supplied (not
least of which cos the laptop doesn't have a CD/DVD drive), so I
presumably need to capture the installed Windows first thing in order to
have any chance of running it later, yes?

Cheers.
