yeah, but that's the first time I've heard of running your windows partition
In a VMplayer on linux.
this guy says what if you want to use some piece of hardware that doesn't 
function on a virtual machine? Running your windows partition in VM's free
VMplayer will solve that problem. Also he says that in a VM you don't have
access to your files in your windows partition. Is that true? Sounds like a 
great motive to want to run your windows partition in linux. If you want to 
run something that won't run in linux, you don't have to reboot to run it.

This is a hack where, he says, that you can set this up in VMware Workstation 6
30 day trial version, and once you set it up, if you don't want to pay $190.00 for
Workstation 6, you can remove it from you computer, and play the VM setup to 
play your Windows partition on linux in VMware's free VMplayer.

but then, you've prolly been doing that for years. Right?
