I use Wine somewhat frequently to run a few apps. Using Wine is really 
hit-or-miss. Programs will work perfectly in one version, then not work 
at all in the next release. In general, older, simpler programs work 
best. There is a database of what apps are known to work at 
www.winehq.com. Some of the programs that work best are Starcraft, 
Half-life, and Solitaire.
