gnucash is an excellent finiancial management program. It reminds me of quicken. As for games, most the top games are also for linux, and those that aren't for linux ie half-life, run flawlessly under wine. I have even had success with Zoo Tycoon, a Microsoft game to run almost perfectly under wineX www.transgaming.com (WineX is wine with directX support). The Sims is now also available for linux. I think Mandrake teamed up with wineX for this one. As of turbo tax, i think your best bet is wine. 'If that doesn't work you can always use emulators www.trelos.com or www.vmware.com
