I''ve been trying to run Windows programs on Linux, without much success. Wine runs some of them, but it isn''t very stable. I''m looking into VMWare but it costs A LOT plus I haven''t come across many reviews about it. I was wondering if anyone here has used VMWare and thinks it''s worth the money?

IIRC they have/had a trial version of WMware available for download.

Also there is Win4Lin. Haven''t tried any of them though...

Well, I''ve messed around with the demo of VMware. While it''s a pretty cool program, it is _SLOW_ !!! Especially video and disk I/O.
