VirtualBox is really great!
You don’t need any apps like ie4linux/photoshop on wine anymore.

You can just run your ‘windows machine’ on linux.

http://www.virtualbox.org/

And what about coping files/directories between linux-windows machine on virtualbox?

It’s not so hard…

  1. install VBoxGuestAdditions
  2. run windows machine in virtualbox
  3. in bottom right corner there as an icon for shared folders, click on it (right button)
  4. add folder you want to share -> OK
  5. open any directory in windows
  6. Tools -> Map Network Drive
  7. click on ‘browse’ and find ‘VirtualBox Shared Folders’… click twice on it/right-click and ‘open’
  8. now you can make a shortcut or just manage your linux’s folders from windows machine
  9. the end.
