pwn@life - A rowing machine is one of the best ways to burn calories. A trained rower can burn over 800 calories in just over 15 min. Some main muscles used are forearms, lattimus dorsi (shoulder/upper back), lower back, quads (thighs), gastrocnemius (calves). Other minor joints and muscles are used as well. It is also a great way to get into cardio shape.
Laurence - The best way to lose weight is through cardio and High Intensity Interval Training.
As for the muscles worked out by a rowing machine, it's mainly the muscles over the shoulders and those on the thighs. Though it really depends on your technique more than anything.
