Feel free to move this thread if I misposted, seems like the right one though.

Anyways, I'm using Windows Vista and I'm getting more and more disgusted by it every day.

My question is: How well does WINE work? Does it work exactly as if I had XP installed? Does it run Java?

C++? Are there programs that will run in windows but not WINE? Vice versa?

If wine works well enough I wouldn't mind switching to linux, my system resources would certainly thank me.
