Virtual PC? Whats up with that?

Too bad none of us want to use any windows-only apps besides games, and like people said, direct x isn't included so it's rather pointless!

bling:
but you know, sometimes you got that hankerin to run Word Pad

Then again, maybe not
  :D

Refalm:
Most software I use in Windows can also be used in Linux. Mozilla for webbrowsing, Gaim for AIM, ICQ and Y!IM, dMSN for MSN Messenger, OOo as my office packet, X-Chat for IRC, Vi IMproved to edit text, CSS, PHP, HTML.

And most games can be emulated through WineX (probably gonna pay for that, but it's a small price to pay for such good software). Otherwise, I'll just get some ports (you'll be amazed how cheap Linux and Mac OS X ports cost  :D )

The only things I would miss are Ad-aware and Spybot. They are very good programs. Too bad they have no use in Linux.

Music:
MP3's - iTunes
Ogg Vorbis - Various Players

Movies:
MPG, MOV - Quicktime
WMV, AVI, ASF - Windows Media Player
RM, RM Streams - RealOne Player

Why do you need Windows? Almost every Windoze application has a counterpart on the Mac side.
