WINE allows you to run Windows application under Linux/Unix, so what? You still have to pay for licensing for those applications, it's less reliable that running those applications on their native platform and have you tried to get Micro$oft to support there support their software when running it on another O/S, no I didn't think so :-)
So maybe its better to use say Windows 95 locally to run all those specialist things that only run on Windows - let's face it how much education software needs 2000/XP to run? - and run generl productivity software such as office
