The big difference is mindshare among geeks.  This is one reason games 
are better supported than applications, even though they are more work. 
  For most people, I recommend trying WINE first, as it is lean, easy, 
and faster.  If that fails, don't invest a lot of time in it, just go 
virtual.  I have been playing with KVM lately, and love it!
