VMWare is also an excellent product. VMWare is a fully functional Virtual Machine Architecture where you can run multiple versions of Linux, BSD, Windows 9x and Windows NT. Win4Lin, on the otherhand is a Linux application that acts as a container for Windows.
The advantage of Win4Lin is that it uses the existing Linux file system such that the entire Windows directory is easily accessable to Linux.
In a corporate environment, VMWare has an advantage because it can run Windows NT (eg. 2K and XP). (Please correct me if my info is not up to date). Each OS under VMWare uses its own file system which is not directly accessable to another OS, but while I have not tried this, I suspect that a running Windows 2K and Linux could share files via SMB/Samba.
I have access to my native Linux filesystem under VMWare. It's a configuration option. I run it under SuSE 7.2 since I still have software which I developed using BC++ 5.02 and Borland Builder. I could never get BC++ 5 to compile anything with Win4Lin. Regards. - -- Alfredo J.
