[olug] Linux on the Desktop (BCC'd to others)

[Quinn Coldiron]

All I can say is WOW.  This blows Crossover away.  I'll never buy that
again if I have this!  Luckily my work paid for it :-)

I do have to say Crossover Office is nice.  I needed to run MS Office at
work and it does a good job.  I also have VMWare.  Nice too, but for a
different reason.  Has anybody tried Win4Lin?
