Is there a WINE program, but for Windows, that could run Linux programs? Such as running BERYL on Windows. Just a thought. Is there? And what excites me is this. I think it might be worth a try if i ever get my computer to run Linux at all.

It is an extremely helpful tool in this windows based world, the best part is unlike cedage and cross over office WINE is free.

Both are programs made by m$ to make gaming and some internet apps work better, but programed so they are not easily hacked so it causes nightmares for people not running windows to play those games or to use those internet apps.

Can't really say what the most popular one is, mainly due to differences in distros, but there are a lot and you can have a look for yourself
http://software.opensuse.org/download/games:/
All the games for SuSE distros that we can get via YaST. We also can get games via source code which won't be listed, and then there are the windows games that we can play using some kind of windows emulators (aka WINE, Cedaga, etc)
