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.

SYNOPSIS
winetricks [options] [verb ... ]
DESCRIPTION
winetricks is an easy way to work around common problems in Wine.
It provides simple commands to tweak Wine settings, download and install missing Windows DLLs and fonts, or install various games or apps
with appropriate workarounds for the current version of wine.
It can be used via gui or commandline. The commandline mode is intended both for interactive use and as a building block in fancier wine
frontends and in automated regression testing.
winetricks with no arguments displays a GUI using either Zenity or Kdialog.

Don't check whether packages were already installed
--gui Show gui diagnostics even when driven by commandline
-k, --keep_isos
Cache isos (allows later installation without disc)
--no-clean
Don't delete temp directories (useful during debugging)
--no-isolate
Don't install each app or game in its own bottle
-q, --unattended
Don't ask any questions, just install automatically
-r, --ddrescue
Retry hard when caching scratched discs
--showbroken
Even show verbs that are currently broken in wine
-v, --verbose
