i can't speak for win4lin or vmware, but as for the other two questions, i
need windows for photoshop. gimp is cool for tinkering, but if you want a
serious image program you still need photoshop, and our copyright-loving
friends @adobe refuse to build a linux version. as for a choice between
win2k and 98 for such a purpose, i see no reason to go to win2k. since it
uses ntfs, and linux has issues writing to such a filesystem, and 98 is
lighter and supports just as much, 98 is the best choice by far.
my twocents.
