  • They just might, but google up linux programs called Crossover Office or Wine or Cedega.
  • There are programs like Cedega that will allow you to run Windows games on Linux, but the performance can vary by game, and this is critical if it's a multiplayer first-person-shooter or something (where milliseconds count). I'd recommend that you set up a dual-boot system, and use Windows only when you want to play games. That way, you can have your gaming environment and your surfing/email/everything else environment (to minimize use of Windows, and risks from malware, etc.) This isn't hard to do. Ubuntu, for example, will re-size your Windows partition so that Linux and Windows share the same drive. Then, at boot up, you can just choose which operating system to run. My laptop, for example, dual boots Kubuntu and XP Home. I'm not a gamer, so I'm in Linux 99% of the time...
