You *could* do that, because VMware is a sophisticated program that seems to work very well. However, to continuously run an application like Outlook, Vmware seems not very suitable. VMware shares the processor cycles evenly between the virtual machines that it supports. As a result, the Outlook application would use up half of the processor time, although it does not do anything most of the time. Win4lin (www.win4lin.com), a (commercial) program that also enables to run windows under Linux, seems to be better suited for this type of work. In Win4lin, the windows sub-process allocates processor time only when it really needs it to do work. I use Win4lin to solve a similar problem. I am addicted to the contact manager ACT, that runs only under Windows (BTW, suggestions of Linux programs that are similar to ACT are very welcome). Paul Huygen
