Okay, so my windows 7 has been being extremely slow lately. So today I tried out Ubuntu, and have to say it is an awesome OS, but need some help with getting Microsoft Office 2010 running in the OS, I know that it does not usually support this OS, but I've heard of using a program named WINE to allow it to be installed. I can't get the office online download to work since i have a key, but no disc. It says the source cannot be trusted or something like this. Anyone know how to fix this problem? Any help will be appreciated.

I use Ubuntu, and before that, I dabbled in Knoppix.
WINE is still an experimental program. It's designed to emulate a Windows environment to allow Windows programs to run in Linux. However, there's still a lot of work to be done on it, and it generally works best with simple programs. I would honestly be very, very surprised if you could get Microsoft Office applications to work properly under WINE.
