You can run FreeBSD as a guest OS under vmware
(http://www.vmware.com/) I believe, although check the mailing list
archives for hints and tips,
(http://www.freebsd.org/search/search.html#mailinglists) as people
seem to quite regularly have a bit of trouble making it all work
smoothly.  It's not free, but then nothing can be perfect.

Of course, as a FreeBSD partisan, I'd suggest installing the
emulators/vmware port (which is actually the Linux vmware server) so
FreeBSD is the host OS, and running WinME as the guest OS, but that's
just me.

	Cheers,

	Matthew
