I just don't have time for that. I successfully set up AutoCad 2000 on (Gentoo) wine in 2004. It still runs well with the upgrades to wine, over the years.... However, it was a TIME SINK and I do not even feel like I know wine all that well.... I do not have the time to burn, as you have correctly articulated. > On the other hand the VM model is proven world wide in a huge number > of application spaces.

Do you, or anyone else have a a wiki or reading materials so I can read up more on this approach, as opposed to hacking until I think it's ready? I've mostly avoided windows over the years. My "professional retirement investment advisers are really stupid and manipulative. My stock picks out perform theirs hands down. So I'm going with etrade, TD_Ameritrade or somebody like that. Any suggestions are most welcome, even if private. > Mark
