You cannot install Windows SW in Linux!!
You can run SOME Windows SW using WINE or CrossOver.
Did you consider using OpenOffice instead? |

You CAN install some of the "Windows SW" with wine.
And for your information, Microsoft Office 2007 has "gold" support status on wine appdb.
kamalkirat1, install latest version of WINE then try to install MS office using WINE. If result isn't good enough, then use OpenOffice. |

Splitting the semantic hair....I view the use of WINE and CrossOver as "installing Windows SW in WINE"--c'est a dire: "Into the WINE environment".
I know that I am being imprecise, but it works for me......  |

I like openoffice, However you can do great animations with
powerpoint which are not yet possible with Openoffice impresser.
And if you have to give a talk after 4 ore 5 speaker the audience
is very tired. So you will need to illustrate some processes.
Further, I can not always use my own computer giving a talk,
than I have to test the result.
But powerpoint is really the only programm which binds me to
MS-Office
