I found this product by accident and think it would be a fantastic
solution for my business. One issue though, the programs i would need
to run need xp sp2. One is a remote desktop app and other is a
manufacturer specific lighting program, which is windows only.
XP only supported on x86 processors. That said, you can carefully
review your requirements, maybe you don't really need windows.
Remote desktop apps are usually cross-platform and depending on your
requirements is very likely there is one open source app that beagle
could which may fit your bill.
A simple w32 application (as the manufacturer specific programs tend
to be) is likely capable of running fine under wine.
did already someone experiment
with BB running Linux in VirtualBox on top of windows ?
There might be a chance that BB can run under VirtualBox on top of Win XP
... www.VirtualBox.org (VB is a free software OS-emulator from Sun Micro
Systems and quite easy to set up)
At least I have similar environment for Angstrom on ARM926 platform (Ubuntu
8.04 and Suse11)
