  Agreed.  I like the fact that products such as VMware, Win4Lin,
Crossover Office, etc. exist for the simple fact that it does provide a
'bridge,' so to speak that gives some people the possibility of using
Linux when they have one (or maybe two or three) application that they
are required to use that only runs on M$ OSes.
  For me personally, it's not an option.  With OpenOffice and, if
needed, Ximain Connector for Exchange, there's no excuse for insisting
on the use of Windows on a Unix/Linux System Administrator's desktop.
