I've run Office 2000, Money 2000, Photoshop 6 and QuickTime Player in my Win4Lin (not at the same time, of course :-). Win4Lin is GREAT. Don't expect to run games, or things that require Direct X video calls (such as the latest Windows Media Player, or RealOne. Otherwise, great stuff. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------ Michael J.
