I am a very green newbie to Ubuntu 6.10. Is there a way to use Ubuntu
6.10 to open up Window programs. I am so dead to Windows and don't want
to go back if I can avoid it. Thanks.
Linux equivalents of MS-Windows software:

Another route to go is Win4Lin, about $80 I believe. Lets you install
WindowsXP to your linux drive or linux partittion (thus gaining some of
the security benefits of linux), boot MS-Windows XP in its own
resizable window in linux, install Windows software etc. (although does
not work so great with Windows games that require DirectX like high end
3D graphics games). Win4Lin Pro Desktop:
