At the moment I am NOT optimistic with regards to your migration
to Linux.
I am.

Ok... I guess you didn't need most of those apps after all.
(which again... is fine... and the better way to approach
Linux)

How much I can accomplish with WINE or a VM will be determined by my own
efforts and not by some naysayer. I will waste no more time on you.


I'm hardly a "naysayer". You wanted someone with experience
to help you. Sorry if I offended you somehow. Just wanted
you to let you know what you could expect. However, I'm happy
to be proven wrong. If you do end up getting even 50% of your
list of applications working to the point of your own
personal satisfaction, that would be VERY interesting
and it would be helpful if you post the list that work well
under Linux.
