Virtualization of operating systems used to be slow and hard to use. Advances such as the KQemu accelerator, VirtualBox, VMWare, Xen and of course the recent integration of KVM virtualization into the Linux kernel have helped out a lot though, especially on the server side, but for a normal user, virtualization could be somewhat clunky. Mac users have been able to run their Windows applications like this using Parallels Coherence, yet now other *nix users can too. Ordinary desktop or business users who require applications from another operating system can benefit from a seamless desktop.

cd /usr/src/linux
make-kpkg debian
make-kpkg modules_image
module-assistant prepare kqemu
dpkg -i /usr/src/kqemu-modules-''version''.dpkg
modprobe kqemu
qemu-img create -f qcow windows.img 2G
qemu -localtime -cdrom /dev/cdrom -m 384 -boot d windows.img
What about one of these:
http://emeitner.f2o.org/qemu_launcher

qemu_launcher is included in Debian (thus at least in "universe" in Ubuntu) and it's very straightforward to use.
Just my 0.02EUR.
