For most people yeah it will be a surprise. Until they hit first major problem. Which will put them back into windows land. You see there are much more people out there that use PCs as ... tools. Those tools either work or they don't. Wine just does not cut it. It's a toy not a tool.
Probably I'll tell you an esoteric thing, but believe it that thousands of people are running Winword, Excel, Outlook, Visio, Quicken, Project, and many other applications every doing their daily job.
Oh yes they do, on windows that is. How can they be running them on Wine of all the apps listed don't work?
Word - gold http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=application&iId=10 Excel - no data http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=application&iId=11 Outlook - garbage http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=application&iId=34 Visio - garbage http://appdb.winehq.org/appview.php?iAppId=119 Quicken - garbage/bronze http://appdb.winehq.org/appview.php?iAppId=107 Project - garbage http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=application&iId=446 Money - garbage http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=application&iId=79
Where are you seeing people running them? Oh sorry Word sorta works. Or you talking about something else not Wine? We are talking about vanilla Wine here not Crossover Office no matter how wonderful it is.
