I may not have the absolutely latest version of WINE, but in my
experience it is a long way from being able to run MS Office (or
any components thereof).  Solitaire is OK, and you may be lucky with
some of the standard applets such as Calendar -- though even then the
results are not entirely predictable.  The attraction of Wine is that
it is self-contained and very easy to use (no messing with kernel or
boot routines required), but it still seems to be at the experimental
stage.
