I've been using WINE for about a year to run the 16bit version of
Quicken 5.0. It works. Sort of. I don't consider it reliable,
and I'm planning to wean myself of it. Wine has been "under
development" for almost five years now, IIRC, and it's still
prerelease quality. I've seen no evidence that it's converging. So
while I think it's a great idea, I don't think you should consider it
a viable way to get work done. Sigh.
