Well I'd be using it for a bit more than just printing
[un]fortunately...
Essentially I want to move Win 98 off one of my machines [the remaining windows box] and still be able to use the $%^&*() winprinter. There are still somethings that I'd have to do within Windows though which is why I'm interested in using vmware.
thanks
