If you want to remain on the bleeding edge of Linux development, then
certainly VMware is the application of choice. Win4Lin gains its
advantages by being tightly dependent upon specialized kernels. These
things don' constrain VMware compatibility. Neither does the aloof
nature of VMware provide the performance and transparency of Win4lin.
So, you make your choices. Personally, I think it's odd that people
expect Win4lin to sit on the cutting edge of Linux. There is
currently NO distribution that depends upon the 2.4 kernel. When that
occurs, complain. Until then I just don't see the argument but that's
what's great about the Linux world, isn't it? You get to make
choices.
People really do need to get a grip, however, if they believe that
they are somehow "owed" tight time frames for particular feature
release from ANY software company. To confuse public announcement
with a lack of internal scheduling and projection, as we've just seen
here, is simply naive.
