Windows to Linux applications table of equivalents
From CoolSolutionsWiki
I created this wiki in hopes the community would put a similar table as
http://www.linuxrsp.ru/win-lin-soft/table-eng.html
into a wiki so it can be collaborated on and updated as needed.
This wiki page is for a comparison between windows applications that run on linux.
What windows application roughly maps to a linux application.
