Legally, or practically? Many things you might run under Wine are _legally_
required to have a Windows license. otoh, I _have_ a windows license, and
can't use it under VMWare, because the hardware isn't recognized as being
the Dell for which it's licensed.

- very light.
- some windows applications won't run on it.

VMware
- need a windows installation ( just one is enough , you can clone the VM

well, it needs a license for every one. Legally and practically.
