Vmwares ok, bit expensive, unless you did what I did and used the crack
of the italian site !
But Vmware's support is utter crap, they cant be bothered with corporate
usage..
Comparing the 2 you need alot of memory to run apps in vmware, else it
get real slow
win4lin is faster , cheaper ,and at least you get some response whemn
you ask questions.
maybe a bit slow with being ready for 2.4 kernels, but i'm stuck with
2.2 kernels as other
s/w houses cant even be botherd to get their wares running on anything
after 2.2 9..
so you pays your money and takes your choice..
CYA
