Hi Folks
I need to start getting all the household away from M$, dual boot is not the way, I would like them to load OpenSUSE and then if need be start the M$ program they need.
So some questions: I must reinstall M$, I cannot use a PC that has M$ already installed. What are the options here , wine, Crossover Office, XEN, VMWARE.
Is it possible to boot both operating systems at the same time and then switch betwen them.
WINE and Crossover (Crossover being a commercial embellishment _of_ WINE) don't run Windows. They support running Windows applications on Linux. VMware is good, polished, professional, supported and available in a zero-cost (but not open source) version. I'd say you can't go wrong with it. Xen is not something I know about, but others will sure comment.
Any other ideas ?.
There's something called VirtualBox (http://www.virtualbox.org/), which is in the Xen / VMware model of whole-machine virtualization.
