Agreed here. I used WINE/CrossoverOffice for a number of years, but 
there were some apps, such as RealPlayer that don't work under 
WINE/Crossover. (And the Big Brother feeds need MSIE validation). I 
tried installing RealPlayer 10 under Crossover, but it failed. And the 
native Linux RealPlayer, while it works well, cannot be used with the 
specific feeds my wife wanted.  I install MSIE under WINE on all of my 
systems because there is always an ornery web site where Firefox is not 
supported.
