Win4Lin forces you to upgrade if you upgrade to a newer version of
SuSE, whereas VMWare has remained compatible. I can install the same
version of VMWare, be it Express 2 or Workstation 3 if I have RH 7.0,
Mandrake 8.0, or SuSE 7.2, and it will run. Win4Lin 2 will not
install except on RH7.0. I would have to upgrade to a newer version
if I want to run SuSE 7.2. VMWare is more expensive, but you can
install several operating systems on it, and have more flexibility.
Plus it supports USB hardware.

Regards.
