Re: [orca-list] OT: I need advice on using windows

[Jeremy Lincicome <w0jrl1 gmail com>]

José,

When I need to use Windows, I use Virtualbox from their PPA. If you 
decide to go that rout, don't forget to download the Virtualbox 
extension pack, as well as add your user to the vboxusers group. You 
need the extension pack and vboxusers group to get USB properly passed 
from your host to your guest.


Hope this helps,

Jeremy
