[CVALE] Wine/Xen/Qemu/VMware, etc.

[Wayne Vieira]

First of all, the meeting was cool!  Thanks, Dan for the MythTV demo.  It
has progressed a lot since I last saw it run.

I've gotten a little tired of switching back and forth on my Dual boot Linux
machine, and would like to try to run WinXP in a window of my system, at
least for some simple tasks.  Before I get started, I wanted to ask what
people have tried, pros-and-cons, and tips to look out for.

I know that VMware is the most expensive, but QEMU and KQEMU seems to do
most of what I need.  XEN seems to be pretty popular, but looks difficult to
set up.  Is any/all of this true?  What have other users out there tried?

Thanks,
Wayne
