ditto.
MOL is quite unlike it's wintel counterparts. VMware offers better hardware support for example, but is no where near as efficient/fast. Win4Lin gives you comparable efficiency, but uses slight of hand for networking. As a result Win4Lin cannot offer many network features and so it breaks some applications wich require listening to ports (ODBC stuff for example).
MOL suffers none of these issues and is quite an achievement as such, although stability can be an issue under certain configurations. But that is generally the case for linux on a PPC box when compared to Intel anyway. :(
