RE: When is a Windows network not a Windows network

["Bob Crothers" <bob2@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Syd,

Printing should not be a problem.  The guest OS can be on the network and
access network printers.

As to switching, it is just another window...but not quite as convenient as
a native solution.

But, that is just my HO.  Your needs might be different, and I'm not a linux
guy.

Bob

Thanks Bob,

I already use VMWare - for Windows NT server should I need it for any
client development work. I also use Win4Lin with Win98 on my workstation.

I do do use IE in these sessions, but I find constantly switching
sessions, or printing the information, not very convenient.
