1 I've wanted to ask this for a while. I've never seen vmware running.
2 I'm curious about running a few Windows apps on my AMD64 machine, if
3 possible. Does stuff like sound work? I don't need any special
4 hardware. (I think) Just disk, graphics and network.

6 How well does this work? vmware seems to have a good reputation. What
7 are the Open Source alternatives?

9 If someone has a good pointer to something that walks a newbie through
10 setting this up and running Win XP then that would be cool. I have XP
11 licenses if necessary.

13 Thanks,
