Hello
I'm trying to access Materials Studio on the windows machine (M110). Does
anyone have the password, or does anyone's account have access to this
program?
Thanks for the information.

Hi everyone,
on a related note, most of the lab is using Ubuntu and a lot of us our
linux fans.
I kept windows around since there are some programs that are only made
for windows --- or so I thought. Recently I tried the new version of
Wine, which allows windows programs to run in linux directly. Some
may be familiar with X but this is not an emulator. It actually
allows the windows program to have access and to use the operating
system.
In short, Wine is easy to install (supported by Ubuntu so simply
search for it in the add/remove options) and the windows programs run
on my linux laptop EXACTLY like they do on my windows machine!
Personally, I have no more need for windows. Figured some of you may
be interested. I had heard about this technology but am amazed at how
good it is!

Wine can do amazing things but it's not perfect, as the Windows API is
notoriously complicated and poorly documented. Especially the DirectX
part of the API has some problems in Wine. Also, to get some programs to
run properly you may have to tweak the Wine configuration (especially the
graphical settings and the version of Windows to be emulated).
Here's a site where you can check whether a particular Windows application
will run under Wine: http://appdb.winehq.org/
Cheers,
Ville
