I've been using Linux for two and a half years and I have no problem installing apps, most work, the odd one doesn't. In all honesty I only use wine to run games, in that area I'm more than happy, we have four computers in the house all running arch linux and all with wine for running games. I have two children aged five and seven they are at this very moment playing Dungeons and Dragons Online through wine on linux chatting away on the in game chat. It is possible. Wine is a great application and the people developing it are to my mind rather amazing.. But having said that, it's a free program, they owe us nothing, we should just be greatfull for what they do do. jorl17 sums up my feelings about this thread and others like it.
