Why write this guide?
This guide arose from our open call collaboration with the Distance project at the University of St. Andrews. They use Windows XP virtual machines for developing their Distance for Windows software.

Michael Chappell leads the Quantitative Biomedical Inference (QuBIc) research group within the Institute of Biomedical Engineering at the University of Oxford. Michael has developed a method of processing functional magnetic resonance image (MRI) data that can be used to recognise blood flow patterns in the brain. I have been helping Michael through one of our consultancy projects, which he applied for through our open call. Part of our collaboration looked at issues around integrating Subversion or Git repositories with CVS.
