I've heard of both. <WhineMode> I'm not currently comfortable with the
level of (in)stability. And if I get VMWare just to run IE and OE, I might
as well buy a hardware modem. :) Besides, my box doesn't have enough
horsepower to run it at an acceptable speed. :) </WhineMode>
The good thing, though, would be that it would not affect one's uptime. :)
It would be the most jaw-dropping thing (for me, anyway) to watch Win98 boot
up from a window on my X desktop.
