Toss in VirtualBox...

And with the release of kernel 4.16 this past week, VirtualBox drivers are included in the OS.

Or "Wine"

Do Windows apps attract old virii?

Just finished my first test run of the image.. Photoshop CS6, Ice Dragon, SMPlayer. WinAmp, and the rest of the goodies I included in the image all installed along with windblows without a hitch :^D

Success ;^)

OH.. forgot to mention, with NO bloatware, a modified hosts, and all of the spy junk OFF the system.. no ads anywhere to be seen ;^)

Took me about 14 hours to straighten all of that out, to be clean enough for a good clean install.
