At the present time, WINE (& CrossoverOffice) are not 100%. For Win9x, Win4Lin provides a solution and will run most Windows 9x programs. VMWare is a higher cost solution than Win4Lin, but does support NT, Win2K and WinXP. However, these solutions fail to provide software vendors any incentive to port their code to native Linux (and Unix). A few years ago before I converted my systems to Linux, the only application that held me back was Quicken. I eventually found Moneydance. On 27 Jun 2002 at 16:26, John Blue wrote:
The programs I need to use will all run under W95-W2K . I have already switched to Open Office for general use, but the ones I will need to test are more specialised. Eg: one is my genealogy research software (The Master Genealogist).
