Hey John,
Win4Lin actually runs Windows, which is what it really has over VMWare.
This means speed is drastically increased.
VMWare is trying to do something different to Win4Lin: emulate operating
systems -- not just windows, but many, in a virtual environment. My
understanding of Wine is that it is a specific *windows* emulator -- that
is, it emulates the windows environment for a windows application to run
in it.
I have reviewed Win4Lin, though not inlight of VMWare and Wine:
