I had a chance to use VMware. I was really impressed. It kind of reminded me
of Softwindows.
But I installed Win95 on a 200 K6. They said that it probably wouldnt boot,
but it did. The only problem I found was that it was really slow. (They also
recommend a 266 processor) and getting all my hardware to work. But then
again I didnt read the instructions. Heheh
It is worth the download anyways.
