I'm still skeptical about it being compatible with all things Windows

Are you expecting to pick up a windows program and run it under Linux?

That will be rare...

But on a functional basis ...there are the basic programs available for Linux...other than in the Games arena.

Open Office will supply 80% of the capability of MS Office for example.

If you are a '"Facebook fan there are two relatively new distributions available that are aiming to focus on such cloud applications....( Zorin and Peppermint )

Hey guys, if you are looking to run windows programs on Linux, might wanna give this a try. Haven’t used it myself so i would be curious to hear some reviews.
