Well, once you've installed vmware (which is a virtual
machine, not an emulator - and a very nice program!) you
still need to install Linux into the virtual machine.

What you do gain in comparison to dualbooting is:

* No need to repartition (linux then lives in big file)
Repartitioning can also be avoided by installing Linux
in UMSDOS, but at a large performance loss.

* Wont mess with your MBR (Master Boot Record).

* No need to reboot - you just start the virtual machine as
a program under Windows.
