Our company bought some Darwin Workstations, and yes, they run Windows 95 programs right out of the box. I think its called Soft Windows or something, but I don't remember. I'm stuck using a PC for now. My friend says its about as fast as a Pentium 90. You can also buy (or get for free) WABI, but it only runs 3.1 apps. WABI also runs on Linux. I bought/use Applixware 4.4.1 for Linux. It is compatible with Office 97, Word 6.0, 2.0. It has a spreadsheet, presentation package, mail, web page editor, and database, etc. I like it so far. S.U.S.E. is repackaging it and selling it as Linux Office Suite 99. They sell it for 20% less money. Its pretty good quality software. Also, WordPerfect for Linux is Free, as is Star Office, I think. I used the wordperfect and couldn't get it to print postscript. Applix has allowed me to be 100% MS free. I'm not affiliated, blah, blah (thats about as much legalese as I know).
