i like win4lin too. the only things i can't do under win4lin are DirectX games (because i don't have win4lin 5, which has some directX support, but some games probably still don't play), and visual studio.net (which won't run under w95/98/ME, and which i was just testing anyway, i can't afford the license, although i might be able to get my boss to buy just VC#). fortunately, i don't need to do any of those. the license is actually at around $90 or so (there are discounts for upgrades and there might be discounts for multiple copies). VMware is still much more expensive though (approaching $300, i think). but VMware is also much more capable. i've tried out the demo versions and as long as you've got a fast computer and lots of RAM, it's definitely a great product (run several FreeBSD sessions, several Linux sessions, and several WinXP sessions all at the same time on your 2GB RAM 3.8Mhz box :). tiger -- Gerald Timothy Quimpo gquimpo*hotmail.com tiger*sni*ph http://bopolissimus.sni.ph Public Key: "gpg --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --recv-keys 672F4C78" One can be silent and sit still only when one has bow and arrow: else one chatters and quarrels. -- Nietzsche -- Philippine Linux Users' Group (PLUG) Mailing List [EMAIL PROTECTED] (#PLUG @ irc.free.net.ph) Official Website: http://plug.linux.org.ph Searchable Archives: http://marc.free.net.ph .
