Linux & Windows on the same machine

[xcoder]

I just finished installing Windows XP in Vmware virtual machine this morning on my system. I wasn't expecting it to be that exciting.
So now i placed win. xp on my second monitor and the cool thing is that you can move your mouse from an operating system to another without having to press anything as if it were 1 desktop unlike virtualbox.
The extra wonderful thing which i m trying to figure out is how to drag files from an operating system to another.

but i actually dual boot vista and ubuntu on my laptop.

No Bro Actually You Can't Do That From One To Another , You Can Just Drag Files And Folders From Linux To Windows ( As Ubuntu Is Your Main OS ), But You Can Copy Text From Each One To Another Without Any Problems . But Anyways There Is No Problem As You Can Setup Network Between The Main System And The Virtual One And Make Shared Folders

I Have Windows XP, MacOS ( Too Slow On Virtual Machine Only ), FreeBSD, And BackTrack (Linux) Operating Systems On My Virtual Machine It Is Bad That The MacOS Kernel Doesn't Support VMware Tools, But I Managed To Do My Own VMware Tools Patch For Backtrack Linux

I read an article talking about samba sharing between both systems. and that the file dragging only works with same operation systems.
However i had no time to try it, i have samba installed though.
As for the text copy pasting, that's a new tip to try

i have xp with multiple OS using vmware, several linux releases for testing (ubunto, mandriva, ...) and i m playing with iaktos to get macosx on vmware.
About dragging files,
if u have vmware station (i think) on the macOS and have a virtual windows, u can actually drag and drop files.

Bro There Is A Version Of MacOSX For X86 Other Than Iatkos, That IATKOS v1.0 Didn't Install On My VMware It Was Giving Me An Error But The MacOSX X86 Installed Normally And It Was Too Slow!! So I Installed The IATKOS On A Different PC And It Was Super Wonderful But With Some Problems With Respect To Networking I Downloaded IATKOS v2.0 That Was Released Since A Short Time And I Haven't Tried It Yet

We use vmware at work for multiple operating systems etc....

If you want to share folders just create a "vmware share folder"... it will let you share folders between the host machine and the virtual machine, or between virtual machines. No need to create networks, setup samba etc.
