I'm amazed that people keep talking about vmware so much... :)
Especially when there is the bochs project for free... in addition to the plex86 project...
See http://bochs.sourceforge.net/ and http://plex86.sourceforge.net/
I use bochs to run MS Access for a uni project.
WINE is the way to go though, as it runs MS Windows applications very quickly, whilst running a virtual machine (eg bochs, plex86, vmware, etc) is very resource intensive (less so with plex86) and quite slow - probably frustrating when wanting to use an app like CorelDraw. (It can be hard to draw with jerky mouse movements.)
Not too mention that you must pay for vmware, in addition to paying for a MS Windows license.
Warmest regards
Mike

I'm amazed noone's mentioned VMWare. Basically, you can actually run windows
ITSELF in linux. as well as linux in windows. or OS2 in linux in win95 in
Win98 in NT4 in XP, if you so prefer. XD
