Yes it's good. The main issue is which of your files you keep in the
Win4Lin directory tree: default ~/mydata/   When looked at with
Linux each subdir has a .mappedfiles directory with a tiny file
corresponding to each real file. It runs printer etc via Linux.

I'm experimenting with using CrossOver Office/Plugin alongside 
Win4Lin. CrossOver does far fewer apps and rather shakily,
but seems more closely integrated with Linux - it adds
newly installed apps to the KDE app starter.

I've used LinNeighborhood (front-end for Samba I think)
