Might as well just use wine, it's pretty darn good nowadays.
Relatively speaking. I'm definitely glad to have it, but I still have occasional problems with it, with various programs. For example, I had to give up my favorite code editor because of problems under wine. And wine isn't gonna help at all with stuff like TortoiseGit or Hard Disk Sentinel.
And then a lot of windows stuff needs to be run under mono rather than wine, and mono has occasional problems, too. GitExtensions, for example, absolutely loves to crash (and integrates with the system GUI even more badly than wine). Although I admit I don't know if GitExtensions's crashiness is due to mono's implementation of winforms, or just GitExtensions itself, since I haven't tried it within windows.
