I've been intending to do that ever since I got this computer (Toshiba 
laptop).  Ideally I'd like to have Vista installed in a bootable 
partition that I can also run in a VM under Ubuntu.  But for now I'll 
settle for running it in VirualBox.

FWIW, I haven't upgraded to Malevolent Meekrat yet.  There wasn't enough 
room on the / partition for an upgrade, and when I ran gparted from the 
live 10.10 CD (on a USB key) it crashed when it was resizing the 
partition.  Spent most of yesterday wrestling with grub. I didn't have a 
10.04 CD handy, so I ended up installing 9.04 in a spare partition so I 
could run a stable gparted, but installing 9.04 fixed grub so I've been 
back using 10.04.  Will try resizing the / partition before bed, and let 
it run overnight.  Maybe install 10.10 tomorrow.
