Yes to all the below requirements. 1. MS Access runs just fine under Wine. http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=application&iId=12 Here is something else that is out there; never tested it myself as there is so many choices: http://www.kexi-project.org/ 2. All the programming languages must ultimately run on servers and by far the most servers are Linux. Also just about all databases are Linux. As for a MSVS for Linux, incidentally built with the help of Microsoft, among other major companies, here is a C# studio with all the bells and whistles: http://www.mono-project.com/Main_Page 3. There is a full office suite called Libra Office. http://www.libreoffice.org/download 4. Note; that the entire Cloud is built on Linux...not sure about Azure but would suspect Microsoft is using Linux as its core. The entire web is built on top of Linux. At least 80 to 90 percent of all Webserver are Linux. Virtually all super computers are a version of Linux (and Unix). Every year Linux just gets that much easier to use for us GUI users.

(was: Linux vs Windows) OK - There are advantages as an OS. But what apps can you run? Is there the equivalent of a VB.net/C#/SQL Server app? How about an Access app? What other business apps are available? Thanks!
