can just click on the setup.exe and it will put a working icon on your
desktop. I recently bought a children's game for my daughter to play on
our HTPC, and it was just that easy. And it wasn't just that game,
seems like several windows programs and games I've tried under wine
recently have "just worked". A few exceptions of course, but I'd say
half work without trouble, which I find truely remarkable.
My daughter enjoys playing several Linux native games as well as using
Tuxpaint and Stellarium and then so far most of the kids games I've
bought for her like Dora, Cailliou and Spongebob all have worked in Wine
pretty well.
