Linux question

[thescreensavers]

Not really. I guess you could try VMWare, but I'm guessing the performance would suck. You could use WINE or cedega, which reimpliment Win32 APIs and allow you to play some games and stuff.

WINE is what you are asking for. For applications like iTunes though, I would suggest finding a linux native application (maybe even apple has iTunes for linux? If not, find a clone). As for games, you can look around on WINE's website to find out how specific games run on WINE, or again, play games with native linux ports, like Unreal or Doom (I think), I don't know about CS:s.

And for the semantics police: yes, I know WINE Is Not an Emulator, but it is what he is looking for.

CS;S should work with Cedega. It's on their games database and supposedly it works fine. Cedega isn't free, though. $5/mo, min. 3 months, and continue paying if you want updates to support the latest games. I'm not sure if iTunes will work.
