( WINE logo - Ascii by yours truely)

WINE is good , but it's not THAT good.

There is still reason to run Windows until Linux can run all the programs
Windows can (and more) while being just as easy (or easier) to use and setup.

Yes .. by huge a 1 -> 3 percent - On MY maschine .. YMMV

You forgot about hardware compability btw.
