You might want to try Wine (http://www.winehq.com). Not all windows apps
work on wine under debian at this moment but I managed to get MS Office
2000 and Dreamweaver MX working. I have not given the programs extensive
testing yet so I can't guarantee stability. Dreamweaver 4 & MX seem to
work find here but there are still a couple of quirks that needs to be
ironed out in Wine. But overall, it loads and work fine.
If you need more infomation take a look at
http://www.frankscorner.org/wine/.
And if you need screenshots, email me privately and I'll send it to you.
