Yes, Lindows does come with Wine, but I haven't been able to get most things to run yet. I think that there is some tweaking that needs to be done that I just haven't done. The say it can run Office2000, but I cannot get the setup.exe file to run right. However, it does come with Star Office, so Office2K is not a priority. I have not tried any Windows games on it other than Moraff Mahjongg, which did not run. It does come with lots of Linux games, though.
