Kind of missing the point, I've just installed XP over Ubuntu :) OO really doesn't "just work", maybe it can be configured differently, I don't know, but it is safer if I edit client facing documents in the native app to save any problems. I probably didn't explain it very weill but I've got VM server installed, and it is fine for some dev, but for example at the mo I am looking at some old ASP code whilst writing a report for the client so at times like this it would be easier to get a semi-decent text editor to save having to load a VM .. ahh GVIM, problem solved! Thanks for two Wubi suggestions, I'll give it a blast, maybe I can ditch VMWare. Do you know if it can run multiple instances?
