Win4Lin works better than Wine. Alas, it's not FOSS. Not to mention a bit 
slow, but you do get to run full-blown Windows on it. Paid $100 for it. But 
it works. I do bemoan the lack of USB support in it, though. May be 
addressed by now; don't know. Now when I need to do Windows I just bring it 
up on my dual-booted laptop.
