As long as it keeps it's libraries in it's own directory, "DLL hell" won't ever
happen in Linux.

 Any proof winelib apps run slower? I must beg to differ with Samy anyway. I have
Windows 98 running nicely on a 486 DX2 66 and really good on both a Pentium 100
and a PPro 166. Nearly any modern hardware can handle Windows based code.

Doesn't WP8 use Winelib too? And if not, it probably has some proprietary library
similar to it - unless you really believe Corel wrote WP8 from scratch for Linux.
