What can this strange device be?
When I touch it, it gives forth a sound
It's got wires that vibrate and give music
What can this thing be that I found?
If you like Wiki, it has a page for compatibility layers; it does differentiate it from emulation, and Wine is listed.
Ultimately don't really care what everyone else does, to each their own.
I just drank the Lubuntu kool-aid myself, so. Note that I keep mentioning Lubuntu, not Ubuntu. Ubuntu comes with too much out of the box IMO (not that it hurts anything, but still). Lubuntu is super minimalist but has access to the Ubuntu reps for anything you want to add, and honors Windows shortcuts, so the transition was easy. I love how super light-weight it is. I don't need flashy UI crap. I just want the computer to turn on and work, take me to the internets, etc.

I have to defend Microsoft a bit. They have always been very generous given that you pay for their products. It is only when you pirate and that I did a long long time ago that you hate them. Do NOT get me wrong. I am sure there are a lot of good people out there who hate Microsoft for good reasons. I just think they have been very generous and fair. One reason is I bought a handful of Microsoft Products with hard earned working money from my family. Everytime I had an issue with re-activation because of a virus they have always come through. I can't say the same when I try to get it for free though. I love my Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition with Service Pack 2. I love my Windows; I don't know how I can ever live without 32-bit XP. I see so many comments against Microsoft that I have to give 1 example for them. I like their native running of 16 bit softwares in 32 bit Edition. I have completely disabled the internet and there are NO viruses whatsoever. I use VirtualBox to boot up XP. Jesus Christ! Microsoft Windows Vista in French is another Edition that I own. I love it! Everytime I needed to re-install the activation is taken perfect care of. Don't get me wrong. I do have a Mac and dual boot so I'm not saying Apple is wrong. In fact I have it set up in such a way that BOTH Mac and Microsoft are equally deserving of a reward for a good job. Being a life long programmer in the making I am amazed at Microsoft's talents. I know a friend who works for Bill Gates and he is one who takes extreme attention to detail and is very talented. I can't say the same for my style that is considered spaghetti code.
