I didn't check the very latest version of bochs, but that from a month ago
is about 100 times slower than vmware - it's rather a toy than anything
usable. And once they remove the debug asserts which the beta is staffed
with, it should be even faster. Also, what's the point of comparing prices
if products significantly differ by every parameter? Compare:
Colors (16 bit versus 16 _colors_)
Resolution (800x600 versus 640x480)
Network (full versus nothing)
Pointer (nice auto switching + cut&paste versus unusable)
Communication ports (yes versus no)
Performance (see above)

Evgeny
