Ubuntu and e-tax

[Geoffrey]

This month is the 1st anniversary of my installation of Linux Ubuntu.
I am extremely happy with the Ubuntu and use it for almost everything.
However there are several Windows vital programs that I must use for
which I have XP on a separate HDD. One of these programs is e-tax.
This is what the ATO has to say about OSs:
"E-tax is not compatible with Linux or Apple Macintosh computers.
However, e-tax has been tested successfully on an Apple computer running
OS X v10.4.11 with Virtual PC 7 software emulating a recommended Windows
operating system. Some Linux users have reported success using 'Wine',
but we have not tested this. Wine is a translation layer (a program
loader) capable of running Windows applications on Linux and other POSIX
compatible operating systems.

We are committed to providing you with easier, cheaper and more
personalised service. Part of this initiative is a commitment to the
continuous improvement of e-tax. We will continue investigating ways to
make e-tax available on different computer platforms."

I am looking to the future and wonder if any Australian users of Ubuntu
have been successful using 'Wine'. Note that I always roll-over
information from a previous year's e-tax.
