What do you think about Wine?

Have never found it to be fully functional for the only windows program I run. To me it is a waste of resources that could be better employed developing native linux applications.

That's what I do for non-3d things. I was able to get Office 2000 to work on it, but it looked awful, and functioned just as well as it looked. Direct X 8 games work pretty well, and a few newer ones like Fallout 3 work OK.

Maybe after you read this, you might want to try ReactOS. Here is the guy's thoughts on it. Just remember....

True. Even something simple like VBSWG won't run very well. I think it was mainly intended for games.

Nope. Still not happening.

Works fine with MS Office. I use it almost every day at work.

My preferred solution is to run windows on Virtualbox if I need any windows only app.

That works great until you run out of disk space by one culprit alone.

Welcome to Windows, which will tear up your virtual drive!!
