$45 is far cheaper than EMC's VMWare workstation edition. Does it support Vista
now? interesting..you can also try QEMu, on which Win4BSD is partly based .
btw, I thought vmware wkstation wouldnt work on fbsd...? has that changed? I
know there is an old port hanging around, but that is quite old.. a linux
license for VMWare Workstation is needed.
