"Finding the bridge to close the gap between the worlds of Microsoft
Windows and Linux is not an easy task, but VMware seems to be doing the
trick. In this article, we go through the key features of the package and
show why it may be of great value for those who want to use Linux in their
workplace, but also sometimes need Microsoft Windows applications running."
"VMware... is a fully configurable virtual machine within another OS...
available for Linux..."
"It gives the user the opportunity to run whichever version of Windows
he or she wants in a window, or another Linux / Unix distribution if that
is desired. With full network support. You can connect to network printers,
access shares, go on the Internet, or even telnet from the VM into your
Linux box, just as though the two were separate machines. And for all
intents and purposes they are, they just reside in different windows. You
can install whatever application you want and run it as you would if the
machine had booted in that particular OS."
