Thank you both.
Hoyt, I never mentioned this previously because I usually like to see people try to get the completely OS sources working first, but there are alternate options if you need to get Windows apps to work under Linux.
Crossover office is a good option if the apps that you want to work are relatively mainstream. I have had definite success with some apps, such as Internet Explorer and Quicken in the past. Usually old versions of those apps however. Winex is also very good, it is aimed at Windows games but is definitely more user friendly and supports Installation routines better than regular old Wine due to the inclusion of some proprietary code.
Both of those options will cost you. A much better source, IMO, is http://frankscorner.org/
