You see I need to be able to run Windows so I could use certain pieces
of software. That sounds very easy just being able to press scroll
lock and then change to another OS, I think that is what you are
saying?

Could I run Windows while using Linux using KVM or should I use Xen?
Which is faster? Is there a way to install either using yum? How do
they work?
