FWIW - I've been running Win4Lin on Debian (Unstable) for close to a year with very few problems. I build my own kernels. It hasn't been a huge deal to apply the Win4Lin patches to my kernel. You typically have to wait 1-2 months before they release the patches for a new kernel version. Performance is good. Display is a little flickery. Almost all my applications work. The main downside is that you're running a Win9x version, which suck even without Win4Lin and Linux mixed in. VMWare allows you to run more solid Windows versions, at a huge performance or hardware upgrade cost. Netraverse's support has also been very good. I heartily recommend Win4Lin if you're willing to rough it with kernel building.
