    I've tried Cross Over and while coffee cup html editor works just fine with it, Fusion won't install at all. That means the only way of running windows programs other than a port of an application for the OS you're running is a Virtual Machine. I run NoF15 on my Mac in VMWare without too many problems. There are inconveniences such as having to mount devices such as CD drives, etc individually. I can't see a unix port of NoF any time soon; they haven't even managed to make Fusion responsive in the last 3 years and I'm sure they've been working on it, so it isn't easy. Porting a program that's written for a fat sleepy OS like windows to a greyhound-like OS such as unix is infinitely more labour intensive. Even the old Mac version of Fusion wouldn't be a starting point (assuming the current owners took delivery of it) as it was written for 68k processors.

    there used to be a MAC version of Fusion in the way back years. Fusion 3 was the last MAC Fusion available.

    Wow, Franko ...

    If I knew everything you know about PCs, I would be a billionaire by now ...
    I know that there are guys out there who always come up with something new, and I just marvel at technology advances.

    I heard India is preparing their own OS, China the same and Russians the same.
    What a can of worms Bill Gates opened!

    I am buying computers from USA on order with Windows 7 Ultimate which will last me until Feb. 2020, when Microsoft announced it would cease it. I hope by then something innovative to counterbalance the power of Windows OS will show up.
    Hot minds are working on it somewhere around the globe.

    I can only marvel ....

    Default Run everything on UNIX

    What version of Everything you are trying to run as non-admin?

    Turn off UAC -> run Everything but nothing happen.
