[dba-Tech] Easy Install

I know where you are coming from. I still have to have to install a product
like Wine (http://www.winehq.org) or just install a virtual disk like VMWare
or VirtualBox so I can run my Windows apps on my and client Linux PCs. I
also understand that MS might have a Linux Hyper-V PC version soon...

I had precisely the same experience on my desktop and notebook. MS could
learn a thing or three from the folks at Ubuntu. If only there was an Access
counterpart (Base doesn't make the grade, sorry, nice try but no cigar).
