I just have to ask where you're getting VMware for $40. I've always seen it for $300 from their website.
If you're already into linux and you want to use Windows with no flair I'd recommend Netraverse's Win4Lin program. It's $80 and installs windows for you with full netbios support, you can browse the network neighborhood and all that stuff. No directx support though :( but it can run studio and outlook for a person using linux but needing just a couple of windows apps to standardize with the office. The one app it won't run is Enterprise Manager or my dev workstation would be totally linux based. Cheers, t ********************************************************************** Tyler M.
