what about ubuntu?
martin, would you happen to know?
Three options.
1. Dualboot Windows (ie. keep it around on part of your disk for times like this).
2. Run the app in
wine. (a bit error prone, but the most resource efficient)
3. Run it in a virtual machine (vmware or virtualbox). vmware is rock solid reliable
It's a tradeoff. The first is disk space, the third is memory, the middle is none of them, but less reliable.
