the
only windoze app I have that I consider "mission critical."

Games are likely to be a different story. If they require DirectX
you're out of luck. Check the VMware site for more details.
(Of course, with more games being ported to Linux...

So far I like VMware. Haven't have any problems. It's a bit
piggy on resources, though ( it runs acceptably well on my 400Mhz K6-2
system w/ 192Meg RAM ).
