Using WINE ages ago: Solitaire, Minesweeper, Notepad and similar "small"
applications worked fine, but that was about it. Visual FoxPro worked in a
fashion but not properly (I was a VFP developer at the time, so this was of
practical interest). Quite fiddly to use, though it may have improved in more
recent releases.
More recently using CrossOver WINE: Internet Explorer and Microsoft Office
2000. Some of the Office applications don't work right, but the "basics" such
as Word, PowerPoint and Excel are fine.
In practice, the only app I use regularly via CrossOver is IE, for web site
testing purposes. Setup and usage is streightforward - Windows applications
are automatically added to the GNOME/KDE menus when they are installed.
