   I did a show not too long ago, in fact it is in the “Past Shows” section with a guy named David Slater who talks about Ubuntu, he sings the praises of the OS and if I wasn’t so “locked down” with MS based software apps I would change myself! That is how convincing he was. He did mention an app that allows MS based code to work on Ubuntu… Is that true?

     @Uncle Indie You Rock – Thanks for the input and yes, it’s true. There are a few applications I know of that allow MS apps to run on Linux.

     For gamers there is a (paid commercial) product called Cedega: http://www.transgaming.com/products/cedega/
     For business users there’s CrossOver Office (also commercial): http://www.codeweavers.com/
     And…
     There’s a free to download and use Opensource packaged solution called WINE (which I have used at times – Photoshop for example): http://www.winehq.org/
