Big thanks for this. Yes, evidently still quite a bit more potential in this area than I'd realised, and I think it will be possible after all for me to go Linux as the main OS. Which is brilliant! ::enthusiasm & delight::
Spent a large proportion of yesterday looking into further Win-on-Linux solutions, VMWare being one of them. VMWare Server does look like a definite possibility. However, ideally I don't want two separate virtual machines, which then have to be made to virtually talk to each other if I want the same data to be accessible from both. So at present it looks like Qemu might be slightly more suitable. Any experience of that? But I'm 99% sure that VMWare would be adequate if that doesn't work out.

Research is continuing :-)
