Google up "Virtual PC"...

http://www.microsoft.com/windows/products/...pc/default.mspx (http://www.microsoft.com/windows/products/winfamily/virtualpc/default.mspx)

Anyways, I have a virtual XP installed on this one. I'll try installing SA but I doubt it's gonna work.

Haha I forgot about this. Installing SA atm. IF it works it'd be a cool way to play SA windowed mode.

Haha

I have SA installed atm, but having some problems with SA resizing VM. Installing VM Additions now, that should fix it.

EDIT: Fixed that problem but SA still doesn't work anyway...

Get linux or one of the other open-source Unixes  They're free and you can run them on the same comp with vista. Hehe.
