Has anyone here ever had any experience of using Wine to run anything useful?
In practial terms, I think that Wine has been overtaken by VMWare. I know that Wine is free and VMWare is not, but VMWare works. AFAIK Wine never quite made it to proper functionality and VMWare does so much more at a very reasonable price.
The cost in monetary terms is reasonable but VMWare whilst not being "Free Software" also needs a MicroSoft licence to run Windows. Wine is afaia "Free" as in freedom and allows Windows programs to run without the MS licence. I know which I'd choose given the choice.
