    Cost is $299 (US) for the downloaded version - $329 if you want the "boxed
    set". This is pretty pricy!

    I use Crossover (URL: http://www.codeweavers.com/site/products/) and am
    pretty happy with their product. Crossover handles Windows Office and
    Macromedia Dreamweaver without any difficulty, but I haven't tried any of
    the other products you've mentioned. The cost is $54.95 (US) so it's a bit
    more reasonable than VMWare - plus you can get a 30-day free trial to see
    if it will run your applications.
