It came bundled with my Gateway. I don't use it. Media Player 7 is
much less confusing to use, and looks better. Perhaps if I took the
time to really learn MusicMatch JukeBox, I'd be more impressed.
Also, I'm pretty sure I didn't let any registration dialogs slip by with
a "yes, I want email from you!" checkbox checked, but I've been getting
email ads from them.

Wine should work without Windows installed. However, having Windows
installed (probably) increases your chances of that Windows app
working. The only thing you do need from a working Windows box is
regedit.exe. That's about it.
You can put a "fake" windows installation on your unix partition. All
you have to do is compile wine, then su root and do
tools/wineinstall
It'll ask you where you want your "fake Windows" installation. Then all
you have to do is put regedit.exe into the "Windows" directory specified
in wine.conf. I don't have Windows installed, so I do have to rely on
Wine for the small number of Windows programs I do need.
Ever try VMWare?

Make sure "java" is in your path, and then configure Konqueror to
"automatically detect java". For example:
$ which java
/usr/local/jdk1.2.2/bin/java
There's only a few sites that will work with Konq's java, though.

I don't understand this. For less money you could get a faster

But if you're running a database, and you want to know if a "commit"

7 weeks is a MAJOR pain in the ass...
