I have one pesky Windows application that, after months of fiddling with straight wine and Crossover, still refuses to run in Linux. Seeing as everybody keeps asking, it's the graphical configuration manager at http://www.quintum.com/support/mgmt/index.shtml . It's written in Java - platform independence anybody?
So I'm looking for recommendations for one of the virtual PC packages around for Linux at the moment. So far I've looked at VMWare Workstation and qemu with the proprietary accelerator, although I'll happily accept advice about others (are Win4Lin still around, or am I just showing my age?). I need something able to run Windows XP Pro (that's the only current Windows licence I have). I only plan on installing a single application, although this may expand to occasional use of *cough* Excel. Because of the infrequent use, speed isn't a major issue. And, the cheaper it is, the easier it will be to justify it on my expense sheet. Hrmn. Rereading that, it looks like my mind's already made up. But I'd still like to hear any opinions or war stories people might have on OS emulation. -- Pete -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
