I’m using VirtualBox on Ubuntu. However, that’s still not enough for some apps on a Tablet PC.

I’m trying, unsuccessfully so far, to create a “raw” partition for my VirtualBox/Tablet PC OS. That’ll give my “virtual” Tablet PC direct access to the BIOS and hardware.

Interesting. I haven't played with VirtualBox (yet), as VMware's offerings for Mac, Windows, and Linux have covered my needs so far. But even so, getting really solid BIOS/hardware access is problematic with any virtualization.
