In the News Apple and Linux are engaged in battle – a battle to win over disgruntled Windows users. But who will win, and what will the consequences be for the loser? The most commonly held belief amongst Apple and Linux fanboys is that both factions are engaged in some kind of a war with Microsoft. The truth is that if you look at the market share figure for Windows, Mac and Linux, both Mac OS and all the Linux distros that have ever been released are dwarfed by Windows.

Please, no one saying Wine now. I tried all the apps i miss on Linux with Wine and not even one of them worked in a bearable way.


How about QEMU or VirtualBox? They have kernel support and if you have a recent CPU it'll even have virtualization support. These mean near-native speed. You can even run apps in a "seamless" manner ie. show just the app you want, in a native Linux desktop window instead of the whole Windows desktop.
