I've installed Ubuntu inside a virtual machine running on Windows 7's Virtual PC. One thing I've noticed right away is that it has to capture the mouse and not all the hardware works as expected. I didn't have such problems in my virtual Windows XP. Is there anything I need to do to either Virtual PC or within Ubuntu that will get them to cooperate as well as Windows XP seems to?


VirtualBox (a competitor of Virtual PC) has integration tools for Ubuntu and other Linux distros. If you are planning to make use of virtual Ubuntu, I'd suggest you try VB.
