>From the reporter of that story, in a response to an email I sent
stating my displeasure with his FUD article. Maybe he's not clueless,
but just a sensationalist.
"I'm not aware of Linux's ability to run Windows as a VM, unless you're speaking of something like
CodeWeavers/WINE software, which runs some Windows software but not actually Windows. (And runs
only some of it, I'd add.) Could you share more details on this subject? I've been writing about
Linux for several years and am not aware of anyone running Windows VMs in Linux. Have you
implemented this technology, or do you know anyone who has? I'd be very interested in talking to
them; I'm working on a story about Red Hat and SuSE talking about adding partitioning technology in
software geared for the 2.8 kernel timeframe."

I told him of Win4lin, which if I am not mistaken runs the
actual Windows code in a VM. Someone correct me if I am wrong.
Not that it is important to me, as I only use Windows to pay
the bills, and only because I haven't had any Linux job offers.
