Common Wine Myths

This is also true for Windows Vista and the upcoming Windows 7. The difference is that the majority of ISVs will be actively working to re-target their apps at Vista / 7, eventually solving most incompatibilities. Very few ISVs care about Wine (yet).

Nevertheless, it's here, it works for many applications already, and when ISVs decide they should start caring about the Linux desktop - it will be a much easier target for many of them to hit than an entirely different toolkit.
