OH YEAH -- almost forgot -- Win4Lin has one BIG drawback: No "current"
version of Windows is supported. No CE, ME, or 2000 -- only 95 and 98.
We're up against this problem right now -- M$ won't sell you a 98
license for less than twice the regular price (UPGRADE, PEASANTS!), and
Windose_ME_harder won't work on Win4Lin (I've tried).
So if you already have the 95/98 licenses and media laying around, go
for it; otherwise you may be stuck with VMware.
