I have suggested that another solution be considered so we don't have to keep a Windows 98 PC to run a legacy DOS database application. A VM solution where we can run Windows 98 in secondary mode on a primary XP machine seems like the best approach.

What I can't answer is whether Workstation would just be another window or would require a complete reboot to the VM. Obviously, just another window would be the best answer so the app can be used as needed.

Thanks for any insight.
