you havwe to be pretty flexible for win, yes it will run the progreams, but you have to work around the programs for example, in a word processing program, it may run, but to open documents you may have to go get them from your C: folder instead of opening them directly within the original word processing program, many times it is the specific application, and often it will have problems, photoshop and macromedia users often have these issues but they also are some of the biggest users of Wine
