Also, VMware Server is free.

With VMWare, don't you have to have a licensed copy of the Windows OS to load onto the your virtual machine that will be running MS apps?
Not an issue for RKing...just curious.

That is correct. VMware virtualizes the hardware, rather than the API calls. As a result, you end up running the OS within a process.
