How mature is wine these days? The last time I looked at it

32 bit windows had long been released). It wasn't particularly stable

5 years ago wine was pretty flaky. These days it appears to be pretty
nice. It seems to run to run most modern windows software I've tried
with it (various 3rd part apps, nothing from MS) with no obvious
problems.
Out of curiousity, does it still choke on those braindead 16-bit
installers? I recall a couple of years ago trying to install programs
that used a 16-bit installer and having the install utterly fail.
However, if I installed to a real Windows system and then copied all the
installed files over, it ran.
