Nice work

I'm a dedicated Linux user but teach a Microsoft Office class, so I needed to install Windows 98 and Office on my home machine as a guest under Linux. The text is clear in explanations, profusely illustrated, and has some good examples. The CD has a demo of Vmware as well as some handy utilities. Configuring networking is explained well, as well as integrating in a Samba environment. If you are looking to use VMware and office/business apps, this book and VMware could be the answer (Vmware offers hobbyist licenses...). If you are interested in playing Windows based games with 3D acceleration, forget about it DirectX support is not available yet. All in all a worthwhile book.
