I must disagree here. VMWare/Plex86 does not need to change to support any future versions of Windows, providing that VMWare/ Ples86 implements a correct virtual PC. Obviously flaws in VMWare/Plex86 can be exposed by new Windows versions, but they are simply corners cut on the part of VMWare/Plex86 rather than any controls exerted by Microsoft. > Wine working at the 90% level is worthless -- if the MS Doc > file with a set of MS graphics does not appear identical when printed > as it does on the MS Win environment. Agreed, although your prime use of a Windows emulator is to run MS Office. Mine is to run an application to download pictures from my digital camera. However I suspect that MS Office is the main "must have working" windows app, and most likely the hardest to get working under Wine. In short a virtual machine approach will offer the highest level of compatibility as it runs the original Windows code. A Wine approach will offer fastest execution as there are no emulation overheads. Also I understand that Wine has implemented some things more efficiately than the native Windows code. __________________________________________________ John Saunders -- ResMed Limited 97 Waterloo Road, North Ryde NSW 2113, Australia.
