3:57 AM EDT 		There is also wine, as described in further detail in the latest LXer post on this, 'Wine 1.1.23 Released With Various Fixes', http://lxer.com/module/newswire/view/121518 Probably best to say that wine is best called for when not needing a full virtual Windows XP sp3 environment such as demonstrated in anyweb's piece using qemu. Just pick out those few key wine apps to use, without necessarily throwing out extra resources on these through qemu ... quite nice and convenient.
