Well on the article I posted above, it says that the Microsoft virtual machine does not support usb devices that your real computer has plugged in. So my mouse would not work I guess...
maybe those usb devices are cameras, printers and so, but maybe mice do work. I dunno.

So if I understood right, VMWare, will create only one file that will ask me where to put it. This file will contain everything the HDD on my virtual machine will have. (OS and software I installed?)
in fact, it creates a folder (where you choose) and it puts inside that folder several files, with the configuration of the virtual machine. ONe of those files is the HD.

Our other computer has about 20 GB free but I cant install a virtual machine in it because : Intel Pentium II 233 MHz
you can, but i won't do it. It'll run quite slower.
I've used VMWare 4 in Windows XP with windows 98 as guest OS in my old Pentium II @ 266, 192 MB RAM (96Mb for the guest OS) and it goes very well. You may want to try it.

the same as before (the folder with files) but it won't create the big file containing the HD. Instead it'll use the partition.

be careful with that. Make tests.

always the last one. But it works with all.
