For macromedia products it memory serves crossover office supports
these out of the box.
Although not completely foss it might be worth looking at it

Lisa uses ubuntu for some of her work and dual boots into windows xp
mainly for adobe/macromedia photoshop, flash, premiere, after
effects, director and sound forge. There is a bit she does on a mac
as well. Often there is something that needs a visual tweak but she
is back in linux. GIMP she finds hard as she knows photoshop and
does not want to learn a second way of doing things. Gutsy upgraded
GIMP from 2.2 to 2.4 which introduced some changes that were not
liked so we tried GIMPshop but it didn't do what she wanted.
Wine has succeeded in installing and running but have not yet
extensively tested photoshop CS. Director, and sonic forge installed
and appear to work. Flash 5 installed but doesn't run. Premier
installed but looks dodgy on a brief look. Flash MX and after
effects failed to install.
If these programmes could be run in wine or virtualisation then the
need to switch back and forward between Operating systems in the
middle of work flow would be removed.
My question is what of the half dozen available virtualisation
system is going to be best for this collection of programmes? Does
anyone have any experience?
cheers
