Five ways to use Windows applications in Linux
This article has been bouncing around for a few days so I thought I’d mention it. The Open Source Advocate recently published a list of five ways to use Windows applications in Linux.

Before virtualization was widely available, people would dual-boot their machine if they wanted access to both Windows and Linux. Whenever they needed to do something in the other operating system, they would have to close all their applications and reboot into the other operating system.This time-consuming process can now be replaced by running Windows in a virtual machine on a Linux system. Once that is installed, you can install Windows and Windows applications inside a virtual machine. Now you can use that virtual machine to have instant access to any of your Windows applications.
