For my purposes ... Win4Lin. It's much less resource intensive, and does what I need it to do (run Office; run MS Money for electronic banking; play QuickTime movies; couple other things). Since I only need Win9x, Win4Lin is fine. And, I suspect, faster than vmWare Express - which is the Win9x-only version of vmWare. If I wanted/need Win2K, or another version of Linux/BSD, to run in a window, then the full vmWare is the only way to go. Quite noticeable performance hit, even with a PIII-550, 256M RAM. -- Michael J.
