Q. I have a Windows desktop tower next to my Linux desktop. Is there a way to have my Windows machine in a separate window on my Linux desktop? I hate having to screw with hooking up another monitor every time I (am forced) to used Windows for something.
A. You could get a cable splitter and have one end into ur monitor and the 2 other ends going into the 2 computers. This may not be the best thing if you want to use both at once however.
Best way (and what i do with my laptop) is to install a VNC server/client.
1) If you're using Linux as ur main machine then you may have some VNC program built in (espec if you run kde). If not then find one from somewhere. Install the client on your linux.
2) For windows i suggest TightVNC as its what I use.. Seems relatively easy too. Just install the server on that comp.
Then just use ur linux comp to access the windows pc via a network.. Easy!

A. To have Compiz you need to have Linux installed on your Computer
I thoroughly recommend Linux Mint 8 Main Edition which is built upon Ubuntu 9.10 Its easy to install and easy to use plus it comes with much of the software you are likely to need preinstalled (including Compiz)

Installing Ubuntu as a dual-boot with Windows without partitioning
http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/wubi
You keep Windows as it is, Wubi only adds an extra option to boot into Ubuntu. Wubi does not require you to modify the partitions of your PC, or to use a different bootloader, and does not install special drivers. It works just like any other application.
Wubi keeps most of the files in one folder, and if you do not like it, you can simply uninstall it as any other application.
Boot in to windows insert the Ubuntu 9.10 LiveCD and you will offered the option of installing inside windows which is where the Wubi installer comes in, you will be asked how many gigabytes you wish to allocate to Ubuntu (I recommend 8gb) then you set a password for your installation then click install and thats it.
Once Ubuntu is fully installed upon starting your PC you will be given a choice of which operating system you want to use Windows or Ubuntu
