Any kind of software doesn't get better if its run on an emulator. I
cannot see any merits in running windows software on Linux.
Even lots of Windows compatible software cannot run on
properly on Windows because MS has got some things in their OS code
that they never revealed.
MS has been huge advances over the last years in order to challenge
Unix systems. The main advantage over Unix is that NT hides lots of
things from the user which makes it easier to use (most of the time).
I love Linux but unfortunately there is still much more software for
Windows out there which makes it hard to justify installing Linux
unless one does lots of programming.
Unfortunatly MS has achieved a nearly inpenetrable position when it
comes to desktop operating systems.
Even though OS/2 was better than Windows 3.1 at the time and was
compatible with it could not challenge Windows. MS has developed a
very clever strategy of preventing people using something else
because it adds ever more gimmicks to the software which apparently
some people use.
I have used C/PM, Apple OS, ;DOS, GEM, Windows, OS/2 over the years
and one disappeared after the other. Windows will not be the last
major operating system.
