-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA512 OK, it's lunchtime and I just got back from holiday, but I'm not seeing what this is doing that you couldn't do yourself by building a Windows VM on Virtual Box and running it on Linux?

Hello,
I've just downloaded and installed a copy of Robolinux on a spare desktop machine. It says that it's a replacement for Windows XP as it will keep the Windows stuff secure without fear of a virus or malware.
I paid a few dollars for the basic version as I thought I would be able to configure the XP stuff myself. But it seems they want me to pay for more of it first.
But then the thought occurred to me that I might be able to do all this stuff with VirtualBox anyway. This is the link to the info about the secure bit - http://www.robolinux.org/stealth-vm-info/
There's a video on the site showing how a virus attacks the VM. What I find more than a little annoying is that it says I can do this for free and yet there's no way to get past the donation page.
The question remains though. Is this special software or simply a cunning bit of configuration of a virtual machine on the part of Robolinux?
