VMWare doesn't come with anybodies packaging - that's unfortunate, but true. You can download a demo version from www.vmware.com - and apply for a demo serial number. You can run literally any version of Windows within a VMWare environment - if you're used to setting up windows, it's all basically the same - just in a virtual environment. Example: After all the steps for a VMWare installation, you create a new VMWare session - telling it what OS you're installing - for instance, Win98SE. Have a bootable Win98SE CD or bootdisk handy - after the creation of a vmware hard drive (you can choose the size you want) - boot with your CD or bootdisk, and do all the normal FDISK/FORMAT things necessary prior to the installation - just keep following through. Once you've done, you're done. You also have options for the type of access the VM gets to the "host" - that being the linux box you're running it on. It's really fairly simple - takes as long as it would normally take to install an OS. I run heaps of different OS's in VM sessions - as I have to support them, I have to run them.
