1) Use envy (since you are using ubuntu) to download / install your graphics drivers: http://albertomilone.com/nvidia_scripts1.html 2) Zune's not supported because .net doesn't work (and I think it also needs windows media player 11 or some or nonsense). I personally used KVM and run windows xp inside linux, and then installed zune into that. Yes, that's complicated (there are some decent guides for using KVM). I think virtual box would also work, or really any virtualization software. 3) Make sure you are using the most up-to-date version of wine and not the one that came with Ubuntu. Follow the guide here: http://www.winehq.org/site/download-deb
