	Hello Yasini,

	I've copied the Afnog list again, so everyone can benefit from
	the answer.

	The easiest is probably to install "VirtualBox" from the package
	selection on your Ubuntu system. Once you've done that, it's
	pretty easy to install Windows, provided you have a Windows CD
	with a valid license:

	http://klikit.pbworks.com/w/page/7315072/How%20to%20install%20Windows%20in%20VirtualBox

	... for example.

	It's really pretty easy, but be aware that if your laptop has less than
	1 GB RAM, preferably 2, it might not be ideal to run a virtual machine on
	top.

	Cheers,
	Phil
