If it works?  If you do not install some programs, they do NOT work
properly in Wine as the installer writes information to the current
registry.   Also, I have several working and not so working Wine
prefixes on my system.  Yes, this does take up space, but you CAN use
the same area for user data, which in most cases is the largest use of
space on any hard drive I've ever seen.  I did not state this in my
first reply and that was an oversight.  Please be aware that Linux and
subsequently, Wine, have problems writing files into NTFS directories.
