So do I.

The reality is that WINE isn't quite up to the same standard as CrossOver
Office. You'll likely need to move a .dll or two from a copy of the 'real'
Windows into WINE to make everything work. The key is knowing which .dll to
move.

Check out the WIne project (you can get there from a link on the Codeweavers
pages or from google) to see exactly what you will need to do to run the
software you want to. Wine is progressing steadily but it is not yet a
drop-in replacement for Windows.
