Before someone corrects me on this, it is possible to run some Windows software under linux using a windows emulator but this is not 'out of the box' and does required some technical knowledge to set up.

[I'm a linux only user although I may have to change this if/when I get into astrophotography as all the useful software is windows only ]
Surely a lot of the astro software will run under emulation? I'd probably run Linux if it weren't for gaming.
