Emulation was Re: VMWare

[Joseph Gledhill]

It is possible to be running multiple copies of windows simultaneously. 
 Each user sets up his/her own windows box in their own user space.  You 
could either do a samba share to read the data from the windows 
partition or you could just use a symlink.  But that is only for 
file/data access it will not share system info.
