I'd be interested here too, the price is certainly much more reasonable. In the past however win4lin had a number of drawbacks affecting its usefulness: Kernel patch required. Effect on stability? It's not likely to be uptodate with all distros + versions either. I'm distinctly unkeen on things mucking with my kernel. Guest OS only 96/98 and now ME. That's enough for the billy-side, but installing other Linux versions as guest could have its uses. Limited support for applications - not everything runs. Limited features - I tried to find details, but it seems that e.g. audio input is not supported. This rules out the use of speech recognition software. Vmware needed some time before audio input was supported. Support for various hardware gadgets which don't have Linux support could be handy, however win4lin doesn't do USB at all and can't even read a file off a data DVD. That's bad. It still looks like a good product though. Volker -- Volker Kuhlmann is possibly list0570 with the domain in header http://volker.dnsalias.net/ Please do not CC list postings to me.
