I agree with you. I like Win4Lin because I am able to use Quicken and 
TurboTax. I also use it for MS Office, but expect to make the change to 
Open Office whenever it is ready.

I perfer Linux applications and use them whenever I find something 
suitable. As of yet I have found nothing that beats the Quicken-TurboTax 
combo. MoneyDance (which I registered) is good but does not integrate 
with TurboTax. GnuCash is also good, but also does not integrate well 
with TurboTax and lacks a few features I use.

Other than those two and Office (mostly Access, I hope Open Office will 
be able to handle Access databases) everything else is done in Linux.

Anyone know of a Linux database that handles Access?
