To use the Win4Lin server you need a license for EACH session you are
running. Win4Lin is essentially running multiple win95/98/me sessions on
the one server. Not 1 win98 session with several users like Windows
Terminal Server.

Of-course Win4Lin doesn't check if you have entered the same license key
each time you have installed it. Thats not their problem.

I actually quite like installing Windows on Win4Lin. Win4Lin makes most
of the decisions and it installs a complete copy extremely fast. It's
also pretty cool to see the windows install screen in a Gnome window.
One of the other cool features is it's vlan, so it has it's own dhcp
client. This is handy for me because the computer i use is also a SaMBa
PDC and it makes testing SaMBa quite easy. 

Some people believe that Win4Lin runs as fast if not faster than
natively; I'm not sure I believe that, but i do know it is much more
stable than native and if it crashes it doesn't bring down Linux with
it. 

The new version (which I haven't got) is supposed to be able to allocate
up to 128MB per session (My version 64MB) and be able to run WinME(Why
you would want to anyway). It is probably much faster than mine.

    By the way, I was under the impression that it is against the MS EULAs to 
    run Microsoft software in a terminal server environment, unless of course 
    you use their TS product (I forget what it's called), which is expensive.
    
    So e.g. if I roll out LTSP for my company's staff, and those who need 
    legacy MS apps may still VNC to some group of Windows machines, that's 
    not legit.
    
    Somebody please correct me if I'm wrong.
