If last month's Infrastrucuture issue was too "big" for you then try on this month's Embedded issue. Find out how to use Player for programming mobile robots, build a humidity controller for your root cellar, find out how to reduce the boot time of your embedded system, and if you're new to embedded systems find out the basics that go into one. You can also read about the Beagle Board, the Mesh Potato and a spate of other interestingly named items. And along with our regular columns don't miss our new monthly column: Economy Size Geek.

I actually say, "Right inside a window, so you can..." -- but I see where it sounds like I don't quite pause long enough between "window" and "so."
That said, VirtualBox does indeed run on Microsoft Windows if you so desire to use it in that way. I don't think any of the screencasting software I mention have Windows ports though...
