Grip is best, but konqueror can also do it.(Press the 'cog wheel' button at 
the bottom of the divider between left and right panes)

Depends.  For general office applications (2D graphics, Win4Lin is rock solid, 
but requires a valid Win98/WinMe license)

Alternatively use Wine  (requires no Windows license at all) But Wine can be 
tricky to get working, so many people use commercial implementations of Wine.

Codeweavers Crossover - Guaranteed to work with many Office productivity apps 
like MS Office, Quicken etc www.codeweavers.com

Transgaming WineX - Will work with several 3D games (but never the ones I 
actually own) www.transgaming.com

The best solution to Windows apps IMHO is to find a Linux alternative instead 
:-)  There are a vast array of Linux apps out there. (and even some good 
games)
