Office application is not a problem because there is OpenOffice, but my written application is still running in windows. it runs well under Wine, but the performance is not so good. i planned to re-write my application to native linux, but it will take some time (for me to learn how to write linux application). for temporary, i only want to patch up the existing application to run a little bit faster in Wine.
