use the GPL. Bochs is older than plex86, seems to be easier to

install, but plex86 will run faster because plex86 uses a real

time binary compiler. The drawback of all emulators is that you

need a version of Windows in order to run Windows.

Plex86 is the opensource free-software alternative for VMWare,
|
||||||
|
VirtualPC, and other IA-32 on IA-32 "Virtual PC products." It
|
||||||
|
can only run on the IA-32 architecture.

Bochs is a highly portable open source IA-32 (x86) PC emulator
|
||||||
|
written in C++, that runs on most popular platforms. It includes emulation
|
||||||
|
of the Intel x86 CPU, common I/O devices, and a custom BIOS. Currently,
|
||||||
|
bochs can be compiled to emulate a 386, 486 or Pentium CPU. Bochs is capable
|
||||||
|
of running most Operating Systems inside the emulation including Linux,
|
||||||
|
Windows® 95, DOS, and recently Windows® NT 4.

Upgrading the wine installation does not affect the existing wine
|
||||||
|
configuration. So after upgrading wine you still have the old (working )
|
||||||
|
wine configuration.
