I really wish Excel would work on wine. It's the only reason I do occasionally fire up windows on my duel boot. (And no the open source / browser based spreadsheet options don't always suffice, brilliant as they are).

I recently had this issue needing to run Excel macros. I ended up using Oracle Virtualbox to run Windows from inside linux. Even more linuxey is using Proxmox to run your Windows VMs but that's a bit more of a faff.

Don't use virtualbox, instead use virt-manager (KVM). KVM is faster and doesn't do awful stuff to their users.

Oh shit, that's awesome, thanks for the heads up!
