If your serious about windows emulation try Vmware. I've played with
the demo and it was very very impressive. As for performance issues you'll
just have to try it and see. But, with VMware what you would really be
doing is running windows in a bomb proof box. I think what your trying for
is to grab the minimum of windows files and get the program up under Wine.
For that all you can do is look up the wine homepage and the how-to. I
don't know of any texts on wine currently, but if anyone does PLEASE let me
know. Sorry.
