Sometimes, there aren't any functionally equivalent programs (which is why I
run Win4Lin, to run MS Money, for electronic bill paying). Also, with
Win4Lin, you're not dual-booting. Also, even Crossover Plugin doesn't play
all QuickTime or Windows Media Player streams, and there are many sites that
just won't work otherwise.
