linux and lame school programs

Need to run mymathlab.com for my current math class. Of course... it gives me a very straight forward "install windows or go kill yourself"

ugh...ideas/suggestions before i go kill myself?

Man that sucks. Small Xp install for cases like this might not be a bad idea man.

Yep I would be getting the MathXL installation Wizard page mself, so try WINE or Crossover and IE.

Seablade

Side note, please for folks curious feel free to pay for Crossover as they employ several lead developers on WINE. Plus you get the very handy bottle functionality.

Actually I thought STEAM worked under WINE?

Gonna have to check on that sometime, not in a rush though myself.
