Run games with XP under Ubuntu
I hope this is not off topic.
Is it advisable to run Windows XP as a VMware guest under Ubuntu 12.04 as a host, once it is available? Will most 3D games work in a satisfactory manner?
I have a license for XP and I use it to play some games via dual boot which don't work under Wine. e.g. due to GameGuard or other crap.
But XP will soon get out of maintenance and I don't want to buy another Windows license.
System runs with a contemporary Nvidia card and the Nvidia binary currently on Ubuntu 11.10.
