windows software under ubuntu

[Gilles Gravier]

I use Crossover Office from http://www.codeweavers.com/ (it's a 
commercial offering, but available with a try and buy).

It runs some native Windows apps very well... including things liek 
World of Warcraft (which runs, on identical hardware, faster in 
Crossover Office over Ubuntu than on Windows). :)
