I think you will find that the extra overhead of running it under Windows
(at least Win98) makes it run only a little slower than it does using
wine. Is this what you mean?

Some companies have good programmers and others don't. In some cases, it
isn't that the software will not work just fine on some other system, it
just that the maker only tests it on one version and makes their install
script test for that specific version.

I use SuSE to run "dosemu" to run the DOS Orcad. I had troubles with DOS
orcad running dos windows on Windows machines. So far there has been no
problem under dosemu. Unlike windows, xdosemu allows the DOS window to be
resized etc.
