It doesn't matter how hard you try, some things will never work on Wine. Few examples of such things are:
- Software that explicitly checks for virtual machine/Wine and refuses to start
- Root kits & co that intercept lots of kernel calls. And do other nasty stuff
- Copy protection schemas that depend on exact timing of some operations (both software and hardware)
