The main place where vmware will probably always be needed, at least by 
me, is for programs that use VXDs. In my case, software that uses 
flexlm, or some other licensing scheme. And there are still a couple of 
regular windoze programs that don't work right under wine :-) Though I 
must say the rate of improvement, except for performance:-( , in recent 
months has been quite dramatic, despite the occasional "bloodbath" on CVS.
