Windows on Linux

For many users considering switching to Linux the biggest hurdle is a question of whether they can find a suitable replacement for their favourite Windows applications. While sites like LinuxAppFinder list hundreds of open source application alternatives it's not always as straight forward as that. Many users are bound, for one or other reason, to using a particular application, be it because there is no way to convert existing data or because company policy demands they use a particular application. Fortunately there are a number of ways to run a good deal of Windows applications on Linux.

Wouldn't it just be easier to run Windows, if you're going to do that?  :dunno:

nah. I never want to boot windows. I can get most things working in linux in a few minutes. Play on Linux (http://www.playonlinux.com/) really makes it even easier.
