Does anyone remember Win4Lin? It would run Windows 98 as a process and translate system calls to their Linux equivalent. It was very convient for testing my websites in IE. And I swear it was faster and more stable than running Windows on bare hardware. And when it did blue screen, I could have it back up in a matter of seconds.

Yes. Win4linux was the best way to run windows in linux for games back then. Even better than the real thing. It was better than vmware.

I remember it but it was no competition to VMware which I had been a user of since 1999.
