i agree virtual machine is a better option. but then that that involves 'installing' windows. defeats the purpose if you want a free OS and/or want to use linux only.there are already good alternatives for acrobat reader and flash player (though they are now available in linux). main problem comes with photoshop and dreamweaver like softwares.gimp is a very good software and a nice alternative to PS. but the user already familiar with PS would have to learn the features and how to use them all over again in gimp. since PS is much more popular and preferred, they tend to stick to it.
