Although I rarely use Windows, sometimes I really need it.
For such occasions, Windows used to take up a third of the 4GB disk on
my laptop. Win4Lin enabled me to replace that partition with a
smaller Windows installation based on a set of Linux files. When I
need the space, I just compress Win4Lin or squirrel it away. This is
a marvelous improvement, one for which I'm happy to pay $80 or
whatever.
Win4Lin also allows me to do MOST of the things I usually do under
Linux while I'm using Windows. I regularly use several versions of
the Linux kernel, only a few of which are compatible with Win4Lin. So
sometimes I have to reboot my laptop to use Win4Lin, just as I have to
reboot it every other time I need to use a different kernel. But I
don't care. I never do anything else that depends on the kernel
version when I'm using Win4Lin.
The linux kernel, both major and minor versions, is a fast moving
target. Win4Lin is amazing. It is stable, it is fast, and as far as
I'm concerned, it behaves just like Windows. I admire the skill of
the Netraverse hackers. As they do what they can to keep up with
Linux, I'm very happy to keep around an older kernel, to make it my
primary kernel during the times when I need to use Win4Lin -- and to
pay money for that.
