No, it's not Wine. Win4Lin is a VMWare-like product that lets you run
your Windows partition as an image in Linux at some cost in
speed/performance, which means that to make it work you must 1) have
Windows and 2) buy Windows software.
I have no intention of buying a bunch of expensive Windows software. My
StarOffice CD has the Windows version on it too, so I installed that on
the new laptop's Windows partition instead of the other way around.
If I wanted to give my hard-earned to Gates & friends, I'd run Windows
on my desktop in the first place.
