I've used Win4Lin, and wine, but i have no experience with vmware.
What apps did you need to run ?
Win4Lin is easy to install ( apart from a kernel patch), and it runs
really well. Last version iplayed with didn;t do sound, directX or WfWG
networking.
Wine does do direct X, and sound, and by extension games :)
But for general use, i found win4lin to work better.
However win4lin does require a windows license to use, and you effectivly
run windows next to linux, so you are actually running windows.
Wine doesn't require a copy of windows to work.
Try wine, if it works problem solved, if it doens't then try win4lin.
