Hey guys, thanks so much for your quick response. I appreciate your effort
in helping me resolve my dual-platform needs.

Andrew - Yes I have looked into WINE but I really don't think it's going to
cover what I need. Fairly timely response seeing how they made big news
today coming out with version 1.0 after 15 years of development
(http://www.winehq.org/?announce=1.0). But I hate to admit that I'm addicted
to Outlook 2007 as well as a few others not covered by WINE.

David - Setting up the Windows virtual machine to NAT the wireless
connection will be my next attempt. However, I see that being a problem when
trying to run a corporate VPN connection in the virtual machine.  Double
NAT'ing never plays nice with those types of applications.

Kevin - Thanks for the link.  It's definitely something I would look into
once I get this box configured properly.  I'll keep plugging away and see
what happens.

Regards,
-Scott
