[lug] wine, vmware,etc?

[Chip Atkinson]

I gave the 10 minute demo on Win4Lin.  I don't know about Quickbooks, but
it runs Quicken and Turbotax just fine.  At the time I bought it it was
about half the price of vmware.  I think that VMWare has since reduced
their prices to compete with win4lin on that particular product/platform
combination.
