Thanks Nick, but why?????
Lemme see:
1/  Pay for and install windoze on your machine to run word, IE, Excel etc
etc
or:
2/ Get a free linux distro, install (if all your hardware is supported)
then
pay for and install win4lin, then pay for and then repeat 1/ above.

Micro$shaft still get their license fees, win4lin get their money and the
linux vendor gets jack diddly unless you buy a support package from
them.....
