I'm running OpenSuse 10.2 with Windows XP (non-functional due to CPU swap - Intel to AMD). Why install windows if you don't have to. Use WINE and
you can run most apps within Windows. Also - if the app absolutely refuses to
run in wine (some games won't). You can use Parellels, which will allow
you to install a Windows Partion INSIDE Linux - this works 100% with any
windows app!
