It makes no financial sense, considering you have a zillion distributions to support.
No need of a MS and Apple conspiracy.
- ethanpil 10y agoThis has been my line of thought, and makes the most sense, but still feels frustrating. At this point, I feel like the best way to go about this is some sort of Kickstarter or bounty for the Wine project to provide incentive to get these apps working, for those of us that want it and are willing to pay.

I'd say the best way to go is to get Windows Enterprise/Server edition installed in a qemu virtio box, set up Remote Apps and use rdp. The server you can run headless I believe, the Enterprise will still being running a gui instance though. http://www.abstractstudio.co/ http://www.abstractstudio.co/ looked real promising but the project died and they never shared source (atleast the last I checked)
