After reviewing a few of the possible alternatives, my wife and I
decided that VMWare really was the best option and picked up two copies
for our work machines. Bochs was just too slow to be useful for day to
day work tasks. Win4Lin only works with Windows 95 and 98. This was
much too restrictive.
As it is we have our WinXP machines (needed for the company we work for)
safely tucked away in a virtual machine.
