Seems to offer a discount on VMWare. I looked at this product once, and it is an impressive solution to using Windows within a Linux environment (without having to reboot on a multi-OS machine).



...and it works extremely well. We're using it for our development
database (NT within vmWare on Suse9.2) and so far it's been rock solid.


Bit expensive tho'.

...which we can offset by self-building the host box.

Between Wine and VMWare, I have only ever used VMWare. I had to do something in XP and was single boot into SuSE at the time. I didn't want to install a dual boot system so I downloaded the trial version, got what I needed to get done and was quite impressed with it.

I didn't have anything to justify the expenditure on it at that time but if I had a multi-platform project then I think it would make life an awful lot easier.
