"Furthermore, as it stands, Wine is something of a power user tool. It is usually poorly integrated with the system and the hit-and-miss application support , despite the help provided by the AppDB, can all be a pain to deal with. This is not to say that Wine is not improving. Recently, Wine celebrated their 1.0 release after 15 years of development. You have to give them credit for their work (reimplementing pieces of Windows on top of Linux is no easy task ), but that does not change the fact that there are still some rough edges."
