Chris,

Checkout VMWare (http://www.vmware.com/ ).  It will let you run Windows
(actually, most any i86 operating system) as a "guest" under Linux.

How I wish that I could make such a guarantee. I currently run Linux at
home,
but I have a program for a church project that is Windows based and my wife
has software for a business she is in that is also Windows based. Both of
these software packages are necessary and neither is available for anything
other than Linux. Not even the Mac.

Please, write to John Ashcroft, your congressmen, whoever.
