Subj : Running a Microsoft Program on Linux

In the past, I put out a challenge to Linux users to try and get a specific Windows 
program running.  That program can be found at:

I get a required Microsoft program necessary to allow it to run, which I can't seem to do.

I would switch to Linux as a primary OS if I could get it to run.  I use this program 
exclusively to design my customer's websites.

If interested, could you download that program and try to get it running?  (This is 
something that I may have asked you in the past.  If so, please excuse me).  It's a 
genuine Microsoft program so it isn't harmful to your computer.

I am currently using Zorin Linux and it looks promising.  I have tried bottles and wine 
with no luck.  Maybe you can help.
