It looks like the 3.0 Workstation version of VMWare runs on Windows XP. Looks like it costs $300. Partition Magic with Boot Magic costs $70. Overwriting Windows XP costs $120 (the cost of Windows XP). It looks to me like the cheapest option is repartitioning. -- Terry To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
