I believe you are mistaken about Win4Lin. Win4Lin is a linux port of ancient SCO software called "Merge". It even goes so far as to replace windows DLLs with special versions that attach to hooks inside linux, so it's not really virtualization as much as it is running two OS at the same time.

Of course that was last time I looked, which was like three years ago. Maybe Win4Lin swapped out their core technology for something more sane.

That, indeed, was the previous version. It only supported up to Win98/Me. The current version
appears to be based on QEMU and supports Win2k and up.
