You've entirely missed the point, which is to avoid the use of Windows,
or parts thereof, as far as possible. That is, after all, why you're
running Linux. I for one have no intention of owning an illegal copy of
Windows or of buying a legal one. 

If I can't run a legally acquired Windows program using Wine or Dosbox
then I'll use use the native Linux equivalent, write my own or go
without.
