How does this current Wine version compare with the latest Parallels? What's the typical app that you run on Wine and makes you happier than if you were using Parallels? Any? Games?

I think the comparison is more about memory overhead, startup time, open ecosystem, platform flexibility. Not being chained to Microsoft decisions when it comes to gaming down the road potentially. I also get annoyed with keeping 10's of GB of vm's around. Although wineprefixes balloon in size pretty quick too. Then there is backwards compatibility. Wine can provide more flexibility to support older OS's on the same code base.

  Also you don't have to pay for wine. But parallels is at what version 18? Doesn't that basically mean this is subscription-ware?

    Not to mention having to buy a Windows license too, having to link that to a Microsoft account, etc.
