What's laughable? IE runs better in wine on my linbox that it ever did
natively on XP. That's not a joke. I don't have any hard numbers
because I did not expect such a situation and therefore did not time
IE on XP before converting the machine to Linux. But page
load-and-display time is _much_ faster, and the menus seem more
responsive as well. The only problem we have is Hebrew text input. We
cannot type in Hebrew in any application under wine.

I also think that Word is slightly more responsive in wne than it was
on XP, but Excel and Powerpoint were better performing on XP. Again, I
don't have any numbers, but both myself and the wife have noticed and
commented on it. I suppose it is because of overall reduced system
load on a basic KDE installation vs. Microsoft's default desktop
environment.
