Does someone know where I can download a free windows emulator for Linux (Mandrake 8.2)?
I really need o be able to use some windows apps (for education...). Does someone have a answer?

Not every program in Windows will run with
wine! If you really need to use Windows,
then perhaps you should check out Win4Lin
at www.win4lin.com or VMware at www.vmware.com.
But MS office is what you want to use, then
CrossOver Office is another option,
