I have writed some winform prj to run under linux, i'm undr MDV
2009.0, but Opensuse11.0 is also a good choice.
With your pkg manager, install virtualbox
After i start a new Machine/hdd throug Vbox, install XP on it + VS C# Express.
When i finish to work i close the Vbox windowse and say "save stae"
with keeping VS Open.
After , when i need i start again Vbox, it restore state and so i find
Vs open in the same state i stay it.
So i use WinXp+VS in exactly the same way as un normal software :-)
Bonus, Vbox have a virtual network/share :-)
Some of my WinForm Prj, running under nux can be found here :
