I think you did it the smart way, you installed SUSE and used VMWare as
'rubber gloves' to run a Windoze OS within the protection of Linux :)

...actually,  UNIX predates Win by quite a bit and as Linux is a 'clone'
of *NIX, I would say you are running the Legacy as the host and
emulating a Johnny-come-lately-rip-off-of-OS/2 using a great pair of a
software equivalent of rubber gloves stamped 'VMWare' to prevent
contamination....a very smart way to go....one I whole heartedly agree
with. :)
