Install VirtualBox on Ubuntu. In the VB settings, give it some hard drive, ram and other stuff to play with and then launch. You've now got yourself another PC on your computer

Chuck it an XP disc to play with and install as normal.

I had this installed when MArtin first talked about it - couldn't get the shared start menu - however it did work really well - still use it now.
