Many Linux companies are making true desktop variants of the secure OS (Finally!). SuSE goes one step further and allows you to run Windows stuff with Codeweaver. StarOffice is included with no extra charge.

For its desktop Linux product, SuSE will enlist the aid of CodeWeavers, whose CrossOver Office software lets Microsoft Windows run on Intel-based Linux computers, said Holger Dyroff, general manager of the SuSE American division, during an interview at the Comdex Fall 2002 trade show on Monday.
SuSE plans to announce the product at the LinuxWorld Conference and Expo at the end of January, Dyroff said.
The $129 product also will include Sun's StarOffice package, a competitor to Microsoft Office, Dyroff said.
