Has anyone used Wine? I have tried it a few times and I have never had any success in getting it work and open the application that I want. I think it would be useful to connect with some devices I have that transfer data via some Windows application, but Wine has not worked for me with those applications.

Base Wine I've never had success at either. Some of the modified Wine installs (play on linux) I had moderate success with, but never gotten the games I want to play to work.

I use WINE for a lot of stuff - mostly graphics/photo related. I find I get better results using the main version rather than the one supplied via distro repos.

Not everything works - but I guess that's life.

The version of Wine installed with Zorin OS works fine but as you say not everything works.
