Just throwing my support for Codeweaver's Crossover Office too. It's a fab piece of work that lets you install Windows apps using their own installers. I use it to run MS Office and Lotus Notes at work (because that's what they use). I also use it to run BigW and Kodak "online" photo upload applications (why uploading photos for printing couldn't be down with a browser I'll never know). My experience is that anything that runs on Windows 98 will very likely run despite not being on their "supported" list. Only problem that annoys me is that with Metacity WM in Gnome, the windows tend to pop up and the mouse focus can go a little awry. Usually sorted out with a few hits of the ESC key and using the Window switcher not <alt><tab> to swap between windows.
