Winapps or WinBoat, both seem pretty promising but they're very early in the development process. They're not overly heavy, from what I've remember, just like 4GB of RAM and 20GB of drive space. I'm excited to see where those projects are in like, a year or so!

I was playing with WinBoat yesterday. Its pretty cool. Yes, very light and seemed to function very well.

Navigating around is...unique... As you are accessing folders via 2 OS structures, so not as seamless as in workflows but nothing is really in the way. But counter argument is that running a standard windows VM is not really any more of a hassle.

I'm more concerned with the windows privacy aspects while it runs, but to get into it I need to activate windows which I'm not going to do for a testing scenario.

It's far too early to have an opinion on it though, so I'm equally looking forward to what a year or two will bring.
