That is true, VPC does not play well with Linux, but there is a workaround for it on Ubuntu, namely, the i8042.noloop technique. It's not too conventional, and a little bit slow, but it works. So really, you could choose either of them (VPC or vmware) but in the long run, it would make little to no difference.
When I tried vmware Compiz Fusion wouldn't work...but that's probably my GeForce4 Ti 4400 being elderly.

Most likely not, if his HDD had been corrupted he wouldn't have been able to recover his files.

Hehe. I've been shocked at least twice (that I can vividly remember) with 240v AC...one of those times I took out a whole circuit in my house :/
Ow.
