This looks really promising. Imagine upgrading WinXP to Linux and keeping your apps.

It boggles the mind! Costs $$ though. :(

Looks interesting. If it really works well with windows software it might be worth making a dual boot machine and finding out:x

Too bad they don't offer a "CD test run" like Suse does. :(

I just converted 4 of my systems to Mandrake 9.0 because of the increased system performance and added features. I saw yesterday (but I didn't bookmark the page) about a program that allows Microsoft Office to run on Linux directly. There is also VMWare (which works great) to have dual OS's runing at the same time on one PC.

Open Office is good enough that we don't need to run MS Office on Linux.
