Technically it is, but it is limited to running a single copy of Windows 
9x. (Of course, some of us may not consider Windows 9x and operating 
system).
Win4Lin does a pretty decent job by allowing the user to run a complete 
copy of Windows9x. One advantage of this over WINE (and CrossoverOffice) is 
that virtually every Windoz program can run with very few exceptions. 
Another advantage of this over VMWare (other than cost) is that the Windows 
file system is simply a subdirectory in your Linux native file system. 
Performance is better than VMWare (although VMWare is the better product).
