Quickbooks runs on Corel Wine. I shoehorned it into a WordPerfect Office 2000 installation, byt first installing it on a PC under windoze, then copying the whole thing over to the linux box, registry and all. Word may work as well, but I don't care to try it. As far as I can see, the Corel version of wine is significantly more advanced than the free versions.
