VMWare is awesome to watch. The cute little 'puter screen boots up with its
own BIOS messages, etc., then you go right into Windows (or DOS, or FreeBSD,
or whatever). I was using it (the beta) on a Compaq PII-350, and it was
great, especially with the accelerated VMWare drivers.
I also tried it on a K6-233 with 64MB RAM, and it was quite slow but usable.
However, I had a pokey 850MB hard drive in that system that's a pretty
serious bottleneck. :(
