I have wine installed, then I installed ie4linux and got IE5 & 6 up and 
running. Also, under win, lots of windows app works. Under crossoveroffice 
MSOffice works. I haven't fooled with lots of wine apps, like you I try to 
stay Linux native, or just reboot to XP mode. 
Like I said, crossover Office only supports Quicken 2004, so they are still 3 
years behind.

I actually installed XP using VirtualBox, got it to reboot, and come up. Now I 
need to figure out networking, and how to install apps..
