No, You require a Virtual Machine in order to run it on that Computer

Running an Operating System "within" the computer. It requires alot of processing power, and since your running Linux, I'm guessing its an Old Machine?

Virtual Machine is a program that allows you to run any Windows program on any other system.

Hmmm.... Well, there is Virtual Box. (a type of virtual machine) Which is kinda like running an OS within another OS. (OS=Windows;Linux;Leopard) You could also run two OS's on one hard drive, but that would probably be beyond your skill so you would need a "computer" person's help. Finally, you could get your computer on dual hard-drives (windows on one, linux on the other.) But really, without having some sort of copy of windows, you cannot run Maple on a Linux machine unless you have virtual box. and yes, you WILL need a good proccesssor. and yes, you WILL need to get your own copy of windows.

[quote] WebSurfer09 : Virtual Machine is a utility that allows you to create a virtual pc to run Window Services [/quote] Sorry for the fix, but "virtual machine" is not a program, but a concept. The utility allows window services, not a fully emulated (key networking aspects are different, but that wont really matter for home uses) and you run programs FROM the window's client, not your system(Refer to the network protocols)

You could do that, or you could make a partition an make a dual boot. When you run a virtual machine with windows your computer will have quite a hard time, especially if you also have maplestory running. Dual boot is the same principle exept you don't run both OS at the same time.
