So, I have been using outlook at work for a while on my linux machine via x-over office to connect to the company's exchange server. I hate this. It never seems to work quite right and there is always something going wrong with it and I never know why. 

So what does one do in such a situation. You install Android 2.2 in a VirtualBox instance of course. Well at least that is what a super Linux guy like me does anyway. 

Why you may ask. Well The email app on android works great for exchange and I wanted to use it also on my desktop and get rid of any trace of Microsoft products on my machine. So I have done it, it works great. Nothing much else to say.

If you would like to do the same or just mess about with Android in a VirtualBox instance you can get all the information you need here.
