Yes, my neighbour uses it and it works. After the 30-day trial, it stops
working, I believe. Wouldn't know since I don't use it.
Basically what it does is offer you a virtual machine on which the other OS can
be installed and run. For example: you can boot linux, fire up a vmware, and in
there boot windows 3.11 or windows 95, or even another version of linux (for
example for testing purposes). This way you can have the best of both worlds
(linux/win9x), or try out new kernels (running a second linux in vmware). It
runs slower due to the emulation though, and because there's 2 OS'ses running
instead of just one, so don't expect to play Starlancer in vmware or anything
fancy like that.
