why?

It sucks because it takes a certain level of brain power to get it up and
running.

It sucks because for Average Joe, it's too complicated.

It's great because it free, powerful, stable, provides you with choice and
the community can, and do contribute in so many ways.

It sucks because some of the applications I need are available only for
Windows and/or MAC. I'm hoping that will change sometime in the future
and the many, many people who *need* to run Windows will be able to go
to Linux full time or, more likely, someday I'll finally decide to give
up my attempts at learning Linux.

Until then, I'm still quadruple booting.. sigh

Have you tried Wine, Cedega (formally WineX), or Crossover Office? And do
they have a decent Open Source alternative? Right now I have two apps that
aren't linux friendly by the last two measures, 3d Studio Max 3.1 (yeah,
its old but its what I could afford and dont really like the new versions
as much), and Poser 4. 3dsmax craps out before it can get the loading
splash screen up if I try with a Windows API of some sort (Wine, etc), and
Poser loads, but the on screen graphical controls are invisible (but
everything else, including the viewport, works).

Of course he won't be able to reply to you with any meaningful answers, that
would require the interuption of his blissful state of ignorance.
