Well, it entirely depends on your hardware. VMWare's minmum requirements are 
quite high (I've run it with 128 MB ram, and it was pretty slow in 
full-screen)....and the price is somewhere above $200. I own it, but I doubt 
that many people out there do. I've done the wine solution on 32MB of ram on 
someone else's computer and ETKA came up quickly. You could use Win4Lin of 
any other emulator/virtual windows solution, but wine just works.  No money 
involved.
