$39 is pretty good if you can get all of those required programs to work. i prefer win4lin. win95/98/ME runs under linux and as long as your programs run in win95/98/ME, then you're fine. if your programs require Win2K or XP, then win4lin doesn't help you. http://www.netraverse.com it's close to $100 now though. but it's worth the money if you just must run windows programs. like migs, i haven't tried any Wine version in a while, i'm waiting for it all to get easier to use and to support the things i use (chikka :). >> By the way, my laptop is Twinhead, 256MB memory, Pentium II. vmware is good. better than win4lin in that it'll run XP, 2K, etc. but it needs more hardware than you've got. you want a P-4 with 512MB to run it well, and even then, when i tried it it was a little sluggish. > Which is better: Xandros, Linspire or Suse?
