I have had good luck running Linux under VMWare on an NT box - haven't tried it
the other way around... What VMWare does is to boot a "virtual machine" that
runs whatever OS you load in it - it will switch between a windowed or
full-screen session, and though it's a little slow, Linux seems to work quite
well this way - I'm planning in the near future to load VMWare on a Linux system
and try running NT or 95 in it - I'll post the results when I get a chance...

so far as i am aware VMware runs both os's at once, and you have to switch
between the two.
if you are thinking about VMware, don't forget to have a look to the free
opensource attempt:
