You can run an OS as an application using VMWARE
or Virtual PC for Windows by Connectix. How well this works
I don't know, since I haven't tried either program. You must use
Win NT or Win 2000 as a host OS. SInce I have recently adopted
Win2000 I will be trying one or both of these. They cost $300 and $200.
VMWARE offers a 30-day trial.
