My opinion is that native software is always best. I had a Macintosh
that actually had a complete PC card included and booted the Mac OS and
Windows simultaneously. However it wasn't really satisfactory as the
Windows system was still under control of the Macintosh operating
system. As such it was often hard to know if a particular problem say
with sound had to do with a problem within Windows, or actually the
manner in which the Macintosh was addressing the Windows operating system.

You gain a small amount of reliability and robustness with VMWare

Win4Lin over plain Windows. IMHO the cost is rather high and you lose a
significant amount of performance.
I currently recommend using Linux where it does the job well,
unfortunately this area with Windows proprietary applications it doesn't
yet.
