VMware is an emulator that runs other operating systems. It will run on Linux running any Windows OS or on Windows running linux and or other OS'S. It works very well and of course one of the advantages is you do not have to reboot to get into Windows if you still need to use that operating system. When I purchased it the price was reasonable but I do not think it is very reasonable at $299.00, however that is just my opinion. Thanks for the help. Marcia > > >
