VMWare Server is definitely worth trying.  I would like to know how well (or
not) video editing works within a VMWare Server session.  i understand that
VMWare Workstation (not free) has much better graphics capabilities.  Maybe
you can play games in VMWare WS, but VMWare Server is too slow for intense
graphics.  Please let us know what you find out.
