Not everything works under it, but if your does the feeling of release is great. You run your windows app without having to re-boot. You get the windows functionality for that purpose, but with linux stability - and if it does go down, you can exit without bringing down your whole workstation. It's not free, but there's a money-back guarantee, I understand. AnneHI Anne, Actually I have tried that and one of those 'things' that didn't work was networking, and the accounting system software, which is why I was trying it in the first place. :( I "was" rather hoping it would work because I hate having to stop what I'm doing cause Winders has to crap.
Sorry to hear that - it's so good when it does work. I haven't really looked at the network problem at all - our lan is pretty light use except for the internet access. I avoid using that under windows because of the reduced security, so I haven't much info on what I can get going and what I can't with regard to networking.
