   Hello Kurt,   
      
   I had success in getting MS Office 2007 operating under Wine.  But.. that was   
   on a Manjaro installation that I later found out to refuse to cooperate with   
   the Windows pcs on my network and visa versa.  So, I had to scrap Manjaro.    
   :(   It was a sad day.   
      
      
    KW> Remote Administrator from FAMATech (great remote admin tool,   
    KW> BTW - it's made running my BBS remotely feel like it's under   
    KW> my desk)   
      
   I remember seeing that one in the past. Yes, their price-point is really   
   good.  I used Teamviewer for a little while a long time ago when I needed to   
   support client computers from remote, but the monthly pricing was hard to bear.   
      
      
    KW> I was worried about Microsoft Office, but I have an   
    KW> Office365 license through work, and can access Office apps   
    KW> in a web browser on Linux or Windows, and LibreOffice is a   
    KW> wonderful cross-platform Office suite that does everything I   
    KW> need.   
      
   I think the best Wine could do was up to Office 2007, which I had and still   
   use.  OpenOffice and LibreOffice are great gifts for us all.   
      
      
    KW> Another option is always to run a Windows virtual machine   
    KW> under Linux - it's a nice way to make a step towards Linux   
    KW> while still depending on Windows. There are even tools to do   
    KW> P2V migrations (Physical to Virtual) that let you migrate   
    KW> your Windows environment as-is into a VM.   
      
   I did that sort of thing with OS/2 2.1 and OS2/2 Warp.  I could learn to use   
   native OS/2 programs and switch to the Win environment for Win only programs   
   if necessary.   
      
   But today, I rely on established Win products on all my pcs for work and home.   
   The machines are all quite old as you could probably tell from my post to E   
   Sullens.  I don't think I have sufficient ram to maintain VMs for Win on any   
   of them.
