WINE runs most applications extremely well. With actual backing from a MegaCo, especially the MegaCo that owns all of the IP around Windows, I have no doubt that a year of work would round out the rough edges such that compatibility differences don't exceed what would be expected between major versions of Microsoft Windows.



Get a working version of .net 4.6 working in wine with text that actually renders like it does on Windows and I'll admit wine is a viable alterative.

It is getting an appropriate amount of love though in the last year. I'm really hopeful that it will keep getting better.
