It depends on what kind of windows applications you want to run, and how
powerful your machine is. WINE works pretty good, and WineX supposedly will
let you run DirectX games, but it takes a lot of resources (IMHO). Win4Lin
works great and seems lighter on resources. I usually have good luck with
non-game applications with Win4Lin, as well as kids' games, but not as much
luck with non-kids' games.
