You can download free Windows VMs from Microsoft, run them in VirtualBox and give it a whirl. It should work, in theory!

I believe you would be violating the eula/whatever by doing that. You might as well install and maintain your own windows to VM, without the 30 day limit.

A Hackers Newser violating a EULA? That'd be a first ;) As far as I know the EULA for them is use as you want for 30 days, then after that you have to reinstall it (or use an older snapshot etc).

Or use the re-arm mechanism (for XP, it gives a total of 120 days). The desktop background after install of those VMs is a text wall of how to do that :)

That's why I was suggesting just getting it from elsewhere, without the limit. But if it's "use as you want" then it's fine.
