about WINE ... and...

[Eric Cyr]

To be honest, outside work, most of the Windows programs I use have a Linux
or Open Source equivalent (firefox, evolution, openoffice,...), so I haven't
been using my Windows computer for much other than gaming with more recent
games.

The times I have used WINE, it's been mostly for old-ish programs/games, and
they've worked fine.  Fallout comes to mind (all 3), as does Starcraft.

There is a list on the WINE website that gives what programs people have
tried and how much success they've had:
