    That depends on your personal needs:
    When using WINE and CrossoverOffice, you are running the Windows
    applications on Linux as if they were native Linux apps. The apps think
    they are running under Windows. Unfortunately, not all Windows apps work
    under WINE of cxoffice. In general, WINE's window directories are
    normally allocated in your home directory (or any other Linux native
    directory tree).

    Win4Lin is a virtual machine that runs under Linux. Under Win4Lin you
    are running a full blown copy of Windows 9x. The advantage is that
    Win4Lin can run nearly all Windows9x apps. However, you will take a
    performance hit. In general, Win4Lin's files are allocated similar to
    WINE, so you can easily access the files from Linux. Win4Lin costs a bit
    more than CrossoverOffice.

    VMWare is a full blown virtual machine system, and can run many
    different operating systems concurrently, such as Windows 2000, Windows
    9x, Linux, FreeBSD. Other than the cost and performance issues, VMWare
    encapsulates each OS, such that they do not share any disk space. VMWare
    is expensive.
