If you just need a simple way to do a one-shot windows thing, qemu would be fine, but for real work, vmware is about the only practical solution. As to the original question, I use vmware every day in my job to run a range of Windows programs, including Visual Studio. With an appropriately beefy machine (mine is an a64 with 2G of memory), you will find the performance of the virtual machine to be more than adequate without adversely affecting the performance of the host machine. -- Dave Carrigan Seattle, WA, USA dave@rudedog.org | http://www.rudedog.org/ UNIX-Apache-Perl-Linux-Firewalls-LDAP-C-C++-DNS-PalmOS-PostgreSQL-MySQL-Postfix
