Mates, I have a P4 duo-core processor w/1Gig of RAM and plenty of harddrive space. Where can I get more info to see if Zen will work or whether I will have to try a closed source vmware-Workstation. The only apps I ever need in XP are quickbooks, and occasionally an old Micrografx Designer.
You should also consider VMware Server. Yes, it's also closed source, but is freely available/downloadable.
Have you tried Wine for these apps? They don't seem particularly demanding and I would assume Wine would work. Much less taxing.
I also agree that wine should be capable of running these applications. Of course, Crossover Office from Codeweavers is available to provide a shiny front end to wine to make using it much easier.
<snip> Download Codeweavers Croosover office (trial), it supports quickbooks, and probably Micorgraphix... If it works, it'll work better than virtualization, as there is no need to boot entire windows to run the apps, run them under linux...
