Welcome to yet another open source of the day. This time the lucky winner is WINE . (Standing for Wine Is Not an Emulator). Wine is an emulator that enables SOME windows-designed products to work with linux, such as winrar, finale notepad 2008, etc.
It is not hardware emulation, so it does not slow down old computers as much as much as using a VM like vmware. Wine can not play all windows apps, you can check out the wine app database to see if you app works in wine. The operating systems it supports are linux and mac.
You can get wine from www.winehq.org.
Enjoy!
