So you want to run windows programs on Linux?
,----[ Quote ]
| My point of view in this matter is quite simple. If you wish to run windows
| programs then use windows. If you wish to run Linux and windows programs then
| either use an emulator, wine (Wine Is Not an Emulator) or a virtual machine.
| If none of those solutions are suitable then stop thinking about using Linux.
| Stop complaining that you will use Linux if only it could run this program.
| Either use the operating system the program was designed for or use an
| alternative program designed for the operating system you wish to use.

| Just because windows programs do not work on Linux does not mean that it is
| not ready for the desktop. Under normal usage Linux has no problems and is
| much better than windows in many ways. Wanting to run a different operating
| systems programs under Linux can in no way shape or form be considered normal
| usage.
