Hello Mike
Most interested in your multi-personality computer as I, a newcomer to
Linux of only a few weeks, am still having difficulty with editing
web-size movies with all the Linux video-editing programs I've tried.
(It's the only facility I seem to have lost!)
I used to use Windows Movie Maker regularly with great success, but have
now abandoned Windoze XP Pro completely.
Would your amazing system allow me to use Movie Maker on my Ubuntu 10.10
machine, do you think?
How might I set that up?

I have used WINE but Crossover is worth paying for, as a contribution
is made to the WINE project. I have tested all the possible Linux
email clients, but none of them matches Outlook for my needs. One
aspect I particularly like is the single .pst file which I keep in
Dropbox. This enables me to switch computers and carry on using my
Outlook once Dropbox has synchronised my .pst file. As an example, I
have just rebooted my desktop into XP as I need to run a windows
application that will not run in Crossover. This time I am posting
this from Outlook 2007 in XP.
The only slight drawback is copying and pasting text between a Linux
app and a Windows app running in Crossover – you have to keep both
apps open or you lose the clipboard.
I run several MSW apps in Crossover as the Linux equivalents do not
suit my needs e.g. Quicken 2004. I also run IE7 which I need for a few
sites, as IE Tab for Firefox does not work in Linux.
I have recently returned to living in the UK – Port Solent - and will
get to a meeting when the ski season finishes. Incidentally, I am the
founder of http://groups.google.com/group/*pc-answers*
<http://groups.google.com/group/pc-answers> which has a worldwide
membership of 110. However, most of the members are MSW users while a
few of us also use Linux and Mac OSX. One members runs a Hackintosh -
non Apple hardware but Mac OSX.
I run a dual boot of XP and Macbuntu on my Macbook Pro notebook. One
member suggested that my Macbook has an identity crisis!
