You're just inventing new ways to run Windows but slower. I'm not sure what kind of IT department would go for a "migration" based on VMware or QEmu. Don't get me wrong, they're great tools. I use them myself. But they aren't the right path for business desktop migration. As for Wine not being enterprise supportable ... well, neither was the kernel until companies like Red Hat got involved. They hired kernel wizards like you, got behind the product and turned it into a successful enterprise product (as did many other companies). Nothing magic about Wine that says the same couldn't happen. Already is, to some extent.
