I would buy a few programmers to work full time on the Wine Project. It aims to allow any Windows applications to run unmodified directly on Linux without a Windows license, and while it has ~95% compatibility it's the remaining 5% that causes the most problems.
Ubuntu. Linux for human beings.
If you are interested in trying Ubuntu or Linux in general, PM me and I will answer your questions and help you install it if you wish.
