Only one thing is holding me back from moving to Ubuntu - and that is 
that I want to keep using my email client, Turnpike.
I've never found anything better in the twelve years I've been using 
Turnpike
and it won't run under WINE because it's a Windows namespace shell 
extension - i.e. an extension of Windows Explorer.

Would it be possible to run a fairly stripped down XP in a virtual 
machine?

Which would be the best virtualisation software for that?

Would I still need all the security software for XP when it is running 
within the virtual machine?
(Anti-virus, anti-trojan, etc.)
