Just my $.02. YMMV. If all you need Windoze for is the occasional
document or unsupported feature, just keep a dual boot environment (as
I do) and also get up to speed with OpenOffice 638C (as I do) (or the
equivalent Beta StarOffice release). Many Office documents can be
read and exported by OO now, although there's not always an exact
equivalence for fonts. OO/Star is bit slow to startup, but it's
getting much better with each release.
It's a lot simpler than monkying around with Windows emulators.
