agreed.
Comparing a software running in WINE against a native application is
hardly very useful. Also - if the machine has 16 Gig RAM he is probably
running a 64bit version with more RAM in Linux while MapInfo in WINE is
most likely running in 32bit.
Personally, I would not spread such comparisons if they aren't really
sound and fair.

Much as I dislike MapInfo, that comparison is stacked against the

being run in WINE too, which will hardly improve the reliability.
I don't doubt QGIS would do well against a modern MapInfo deployment,
but lets not be disingenuous here, comparing a 7 year old product to
a
few week old one isn't exactly going to convince naysayers.

Interesting IMHO.
All the best.
