Hi, I would have to agree with Kevin. As great as Wine is, I'm not sure I would trust it for mission critical situations quite yet. That is presuming that you could even get SQL Server 7 running under Wine, which I find doubtful.
I would suggest either sticking with the setup you have now, or migrating the database to another DBMS. I guess you'll need to weigh the pros and cons for both options.

I'd recommend sticking with a legacy OS. SQL to me means "important to the business". That's not something that SHOULD be run on WINE even if it could be. WINE is kind of a workaround, and you'll find that you're one of very few people running it, so support would be difficult. The closed source vendor will not support you, and the Open Source people will be running something else, so you'd generally only recieve guesses for answers.
