I have recently found rdesktop to be fairly useful for running Windows
programs from Linux machines.
For example, a lot of my professors have an obnoxious habit of creating
Powerpoint files that do not render well in OpenOffice.org (e.g. figures
get distorted or labels get misplaced). Fortunately, our University's
Windows labs have Remote Desktop enabled, so I can log into them from
home and use PDFCreator to convert them to PDFs.
