> 	Has anyone tried both these products? How do they compare. I've used vmware and it emulates the whole x86 system so it's fairly slow. Does Win4Lin work like wine, ie just runs win apps? rather than windows itself. How do they compare to wine for instance?

Win4Lin runs a whole windows desktop in a window under linux. It doesn't
runa whole virtual machine thought.

It runs win along side linux with linux memory management  and file
system. Much more processor and ram friendly than VMware or so i'm told.
