Not I.  I notice that a Bochs installation of Windows,
for example, will only run under Bochs.  You can't
use Bochs on an existing installation.  They say
that a Bochs environment uses a particular set of
"hardware" in emulation, so it can't talk to a
real Windows environment.

My problem is reaching and using my existing
Windows environment from Linux.  I don't know if
Win4lin allows this.  Bochs doesn't.  I don't
know if VMWare does.
