[Discussion of the Good, Clean Funnies List]

It's UNIX, so it's not directly compatible with Windows.  But there are many
compatible apps for it.

As a final resort, you can run a virtual machine with windows on it to run
windows-only apps.  I plan to see if Guild Wars will run in such a manner.
It requires Windows as well as a decent video card with OpenGL support.
