Win4lin
This is an amazing product. I love it. If you need to run Linux as your
native OS but also need to run Word and Excell this will do it for you for
only $50. It works great, does not eat a lot of memory and runs fast. I tried
VMWare, another great product but it was huge overkill for the causual Office
user. It was also (imho) too expensive. (aside: vmware is perfect if you
are a developer or q/a person and need to boot several o/s's and need that
level of control - it's a great product but more than I need).
Win4lin installed cleanly (well, ok, I had to patch my kernel but hey,
this is linux) and has been great. I am so happy that I can now boot Win98SE
and run Office. It has changed my computing life. http://www.win4lin.com.
I can't say enough good things about this.
