AHHhhh A reason to decide between between Wine, Win4Lin and VMWare.
I want VMWare. I want to "audition" Sarge while I run Woody, to be of
service to Debian by testing Sarge, and practice the installation.
Besides, I occasionally need run a Word XP to generate a doc file for $$
from unenlightened folk at my publisher (I love 'em, it is just the
Windows .doc file requirement that annoys.)
Y'know though, I can almost buy a suitable machine for testing Sarge for
the price of VMWare, but will Wine run Word XP?
May be I'm shouting too soon. Anybody have any comments?
