Right. I actually found  the sim in question in Vmwares list of things 
that 'almost but not quite perfectly' work with it..Directx issues

So that can stay on the actual naff windows machine..but it looks like 
software wise for windows, there's no real difference in functionality 
between OSX and Linux ..vmware on either I guess.

Wll I can get a PC for 30% less, and I dont need the sexy fonts and eye
