I have the same issue at my place of employment. I run PCLinuxOS on my home desktop & netbook and have to access Windows apps on my office desktop and access a web app that runs ActiveX. I installed Virtualbox & XP. Problem solved.
Haven't had a land line since 2005. I was still able to connect to 911 when crazy girl-friend (ex) was over-served at the local liquor dispensary and started breaking everything in the house. Now have Google Voice tied to cell number. Makes for convenient communications control. I give the GV# to all that I do not want calling my cell. I can always check calls via GV web.
