The idea is alright, but Wine is far from perfection. In fact, many large programs and 3D applications won't even run with wine. Why? First because it's still in Alpa fase. Secocond, they depend on DirectX, and Wine only emulates the API part of Windows. You could use WineX, but that is an commercial program, so it cannot be shipped with FreeBSD. Third, Microsoft constantly changes the API code, and sometimes they don't publish documentation regarding the code. Besides, who needs Windows programs anyway? You have everything you want for free, except for games. Cheers, Jorn.
