In my mind, it seems like running something in wine is a bit of a kludge -
especially a full blown productivity app...

Just a thought here. Corel has successfully (not in my opinion but in the
minds of some) ported their Office suite to Linux using Wine. If you dig
very
deeply you find that within MS there's a debate about whether they
should/shouldn't produce MS Office for Linux. Could there be a connection?
Spin is everything these days it seems. Just thought I'd suggest that this
story might have a positive spin in the end.
