Has anyone tried it yet and how well does it work?

I read some news stories about it and if it does what they want it to do I'm switching !!

If you're trying to run windows stuffs in linux, the progs I'd recommend you try would be
VMware (free trial)
Win4Lin
and WINE (although its still got a few problems)

hmm...is this lindows thing legal:) I'd love to use wine, but I have absolutely no idea how the heck to use it.

Of course its legal.

Using wine is pretty simple, just "wine whatever.exe" and it will do its best to run whatever.exe

I don't really like WIn4Lin, the thing with the kernels is annoying.
