You are right there, and there is plex86, but I have not explored that fully yet, but intend to. > > Personal copy will set you back ~$100US or so. > > Codeweaver's Crossover Office (also a proprietary product) is another > option. This I have not tried, the company I work for, has the Office and Win2k licenses so I have just used VMware and installed them. It is a very sweet system, and allows me to deal with testing, and certain work related things where I need to work in a windows environment. The good part is it makes me appreciate linux even more, and I don't have to do any rebooting to use it.:) Good luck with trying it out, and enjoy having windows when you need it without having to leave linux. rohan -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
