Or Win4lin, much cheaper than vmware and should probably do the job too (warning I use neither). Or plex86 although it is probably not quite ready yet. Of course my personal preference would be Wine but I'm biased since I'm a Wine developper. -- Francois Gouget [EMAIL PROTECTED]http://fgouget.free.fr/ May your Tongue stick to the Roof of your Mouth with the Force of a Thousand Caramels.

Indeed. Obviously you wouldn't possibly want to have any other OS on your 'puter as well.

Some refreshing news
I thought that everyone could use to hear something a bit refreshing. I upgraded my motherboard and CPU last night (from a Pentium 75 to a Celeron 500). The system is a dual boot system (Debian Linux, and Windows 95). I have been unable to boot into Windows (lots of errors, graphics look horrible, and finally kills me with a fatal error), but I have had no problems with getting back into Linux! I will have to reinstall Windows to see if I can get it working again (if they had kids learning games for Linux I would get rid of Windows entirely, but until then I am stuck with it), and after which I will have to mess around with a few settings in Linux (sound, and modem). Just thought that everyone would be interested to hear a major success story for Linux.
