I had problems with some programs under Wine. According to their documentation, you can substitute native DLLs for some of the generic Wine DLL's if they are available. That may help on somethings.
I went back to Office 2003 for some Powerpoint presentations that we do at church. I just couldn't get OO to do them right without screwing the fonts up. 2002 PP runs perfectly under Wine.
As far as your other productivity stuff... Linux alternatives are better. Your choice of calendar, mail, photo editors, music creation and burning software.
And for you gamers, there are a TON of cool, very entertaining choices in every genre.
