About Seamless Integration of Windows

Sad but true… synchronization of my cellphone is possible only with MS Outlook. Nothing else, period. Having done the “dual-boot and sync if I think about it” dance in the past a better solution was needed.

Well, with the new release of VirtualBox a seamless integration of Microsoft applications into my KDE session is possible. And thats the way it looks now:


virtualbox

Windows XP is running as guest operation in the virtual machine, the windows are shown just as normal unix / kde windows. Even better, with my dual-screen xinerama setup the left taskbar is from KDE while on the right the Windows taskbar is available. Well, finally a solution that does’nt suck 🙂
