I know of a company that managed to get Minisoft running with Wine, they
have used it sucesfully
for several years.  I heard it was tough to setup, but once running it works
great.

A few years ago I made an effort to get use Linux for my desktop. At that
time I got a Java based emulator that had VT-MGR support. I think it was
from Minisoft. It was a little clunky but, it worked!

If you just need one or two apps on Windows then you should consider virtual
machine software. (Qemu, virtual box, etc.) Virtual box installs windows
faster than on a regular PC and runs at near native speed.
