It works... but not to an acceptable standard. I tried it yesterday with
Xandros Open Circulation Edition and CodeWeavers CrossOver 30 day trial.
The biggest problem I came across was with the toolbars; they were
illegible and would dock into the main window.

Xandros is quite impressive. It detected all my hardware correctly
without any user intervention. It's certainly worth checking now there's
a freely available version.

However, if you have invested time and money with native Windows
applications your best bet is to upgrade to Windows XP.

I've copied this to TBOT should you wish to continue the discussion.
