Wine and its variants are why it is getting easier for people to swap between Windows and Linux, not to mention the dual booting possibilities. I'm using Crossover Office/Plugin on Mandrake 9.1, and I have Office XP installed and running almost perfectly in Linux. I also can jump into a game of WC3 if I'm feeling bored. It's only if I need specific Win apps that I'm too lazy to configure in Wine that I'll reboot (takes all of 20 seconds due to the new silicon) into XP.

The difference between a Mac and a Linux box is that a Mac can't just reboot into Windows if you need it. If there is a Win app you need to run and you only have a Mac, odds are you're fscked.
