    Hello,
    I was wondering if anyone has a good list of Windows emulators, which i can use to run a piece of CAD/Modelling Software called PTC ProDESKTOP 2000i2
    I've previously tried WINE(Not a Emulator I know :D) but had to success, I'm using Ubuntu 7.10 if that helps, much appreciated.
    Thanks in Advance.

    You could try running Windows virtualised with Xen, which, IIRC, is available on Ubuntu.

    VirtualBox allows “Seamless Windows” which works like WINE but better :)

    not sure how interested in CAD software you are, but i seriously suggest you 'find' Solidworks 07. if you wish to learn a CAD program go mainstream and high end.

    Yer, its just my Design Techology Teacher is trying to promote linux in my school, however, I said i'd help him and try and find a way to emulate ProDesktop as that is the CAD software they currently have.
    Thanks for the suggestions so far. :D
