I was just wondering, what may be the best emulator for windows .exe programs?
So far I was using wine (that was long ago few years passed).
My question mainly came from seeing that in Ubuntu Software Center, wine got some bad reviews (like 2 stars).
I mainly seek it for running .swf but .exe would be nice.
So does anyone know something new about windows emulators for linux?
Wine is not an emulator. It is a compatibility layer to run Windows programs on Linux. Some software just won't run for instance I have been trying to get Garmin Basecamp to run for years without success. WINE is free and many programs run well including Sketch Up and even WoW. If you want a professional version of WINE, you can try Crossover by Codeweavers.
For .swf files, you can just dowload the standalone Flash player from Adobe website: https://www.adobe.com/support/flashplayer/debug_downloads.html (it is called "Flash Player Projector" there).
