This is incredibly interesting - seamless emulation of Windows app in Linux!

winapps-org/winapps: Run Windows apps such as Microsoft Office/Adobe in Linux (Ubuntu/Fedora) and GNOME/KDE as if they were a part of the native OS, including Nautilus integration. Hard fork of https://github.com/Fmstrat/winapps/

@soheb Used to use this... It was interesting.

Nice to see it's still being developed at winapps-org
