So I'm looking for an operating system that can run .exe files (no not windows xp.) and such and is pretty much the same as windows but for free. Linux with wine won't work because 3ds max won't install. Any suggestions?

I'd say Windows 7 but i'm not sure your PC can run it. Maybe Mac OS X but that's kinda iffy with .exe files too.

If XP Pro keys work with any cd then i'll give you mine. I also have Home Edition too.

Hmm. Awesome this may work. I think I'll use this with virtual box.

I've been keeping a fairly keen eye on reactOS as i find it rather interesting their writing a operating system to run windows apps.

Based on the same technology used in wine, and is actually less compatible.

Max 7 runs in wine with mixed results.

Might as well spend $5 on Windows 98. Looks just as good but can run .exe without a hitch.

Orly. Do you run linux on your system bacon?

Also this is kind of off topic but i'm trying to change the file type of a .txt file. I changed it from mario.txt to mario.tch but it still seems to stay as a text file.
