+	  <ulink url="http://www.vmware.com">VMWare</ulink> is a
+	  software package to emulate an additional machine on your PC.
+	  In other words, it establishes a virtual machine that can be
+	  used to run any kind of Intel x86 compatible operating system
+	  in parallel to your currently running operating system.
+	  Thus you could use Linux and at the same time run Windows 98
+	  in a virtual machine on the same screen.

+	  Sounds nice, doesn't it? Well, there are some drawbacks, of
+	  course... First, VMWare is pretty expensive, and second, you
+	  need a licensed copy of the operating system you want to run.
+	  Third, since VMWare is a virtual machine, it's quite slow.
+	  Wine doesn't have any of these limitations, but unfortunately
+	  this also means that you will not have the relatively good
+	  compatibility of a real original Windows system if you use
+	  Wine.
