photoshopped imo
Looks to me like hes running Ubuntu with XP in virtualbox.

Maybe he's running Ubuntu in Virtual PC. Ever think of that??

Nice. :)

Apparently, one embedded virtual machine (a virtual virtual machine) is the "limit".  I don't have a verifiable source to confirm that, but my friend was saying after two, things start getting screwy.

I was thinking about that recently.. on VMWare, you can't use control-alt-delete, it brings up a message telling you to use control-alt-insert. I wonder what would happen if you tried to use control-alt-insert in a virtual virtual machine? Would the virtual machine tell you to use control-alt-insert instead?

On Virtualbox you can go to Machine -> insert "command" (i.e. ctrl alt del, ctrl alt backspace). Also, mouse integration works with every OS I've installed so far, so hitting the release for that isn't an issue either... of course, you could just set the hotkey for the mouse release to something different per machine, but where's the fun in that?

Bull sugar! When I was in highschool, someone tried to tell me the same thing, so I did it just to see if it worked. After I finished the third, the machine was too slow for me to be willing to try another.

Yeah, I think that was the limit he was referring to.  He wasn't saying it was impossible; I think what he was getting at was more along the lines of "speeds become unreasonably slow."

Eh, I don't know. I could probably stack five or six copies of damn small or puppy linux on top of each other. Windows or a heavier *nix distro, though, are out of the question.
