On the other hand, there are two (at least) ways to run Windows programs
on Linux. First, there's wine (www.winehq.com) which is free and
emulates Windows system calls and such. Then there's VMWare which runs
about $200 and requires a copy of Windows (www.vmware.com). This
creates a virtual machine as a process in Linux. Both will allow you to
run Windows programs on Linux. Wine can be annoying but, I think, has
gotten better over the years. VMWare works, but makes you run Windows
and is a little slower than native.
In the Windows world BibleWorks (www.bibleworks.com) is great, given you
have to use some Windows emulator. They have a discussion forum and
Linux comes up every few months, so you can check there for more
specific info.
