    According to the Winedb (http://appdb.winehq.org) most of the more recent football manager games run fine under WINE in Linux so if you have not got a windows licence by using the internet stuff that comes with Linux + Open Office + WINE you can get everything you want legally with what you have bought.

    Linux really isn't a good idea unless you want to become a geek. There'll always be something that doesn't work.

    Windows will set you back £50-£60

    Yeah because you never have to find drivers and stuff for windows systems:rolleyes: I think the OP wanted windows because it was what her daughter uses at school.
