Post Will I be able to run every windows program in linux?

Shouldn't a virtual Windows running on linux allow that in theory?

You can run Windows in a Virtual Machine, and I think just about everything will work.

You can run Windows applications in Linux using WINE or CrossOver (commercial version of WINE, with a friendly interface). Many Windows applications will work, but NOT all. There are compatibility lists at the WINE site or the CrossOver site ( http://codeweavers.com )
