Which is the best virtual platform should I install to run latest Windows program like MS-Office , Adobe Photoshop cs4, etc. I have Ubuntu 12.04 running on 64 bits core i5 processor? I need to run these programs on my Ubuntu system without having to install Windows. Downloaded programs such as wine and Play on Linux but it shows error every time I try to run these Windows program as mentioned above. Any alternate softwares you can suggest? Thanks

You could install windows in Virtual Box to run those programs. Virtual Box can be installed from software centre, and is easy to use.

  • Windows software works best on windows, but Crossover is the best choice if you don't want to install windows in a VM or otherwise, you can find Crossover in software centre. – Fernhill Linux Project Jun 21 '12 at 13:57
