Kent,

You can read more about WINE over at Lindows. According to the CEO of Lindows they supported WINE but feel that the whole purpose of using open source is to get away from Microsoft. So they redirected there money back into better Linux applications rather then supporting running Windows applications on Linux.

If you're going to run Microsoft Office then you might as well run 2000 or XP as well.
