Another Windows Replacement

Photoshop, Microsoft Office and Dreamweaver and many other apps run on CrossOver office and they are adding more all the time.

You can also run win4lin on any linux box, but you still need a copy of windows. Basically it allows you to access windows from linux and run apps in windows as you do now but on a linux machine instead and without all the hassles of viruses. I have already found Firefox and Thunderbird to work better than the Microsoft alternatives, and the nice thing about Thunderbirds email client is that if you have a dual boot windows & linux machine you can share the same mail files betwee linux and windows, that way when you switch back and forth the same mail is on both operating systems.
