I Read through the entire page and I disagree with your conclusion.
Wine has the current lead on 67 tests
Wine has a lag between 0.1 and 10.0 percent on 14 tests
Wine has a lag between 10.1 and 20.0 percent on 9 tests
Wine has a lag between 20.1 and 50.0 percent on 19 tests
Wine has a lag of more than 50.1 percent on 21 tests
Wine or XP aborted on 18 tests
So that is 67 tests where the results running on Wine are better than
the results running on WinXP. But there are 63 tests where WinXP was
ahead or Wine and 18 others where one aborted, 15 of those aborted were
Wine and 3 were WinXP. Counting the aborts we have Wine - 70 vs WinXP -
78 (on the sites numbers)
If you ignore the 18 aborted tests and just look at the rest then you
find that Wine is still behind overall by a reasonable margin. Unless
of course you are a tool and think that Wine ahead on app 'a' by 0.2%
and WinXP ahead on app 'b' by 68% would make the 2 OSs even.
Some analysis from the results
Number of apps where one OS beats the other by more than 50%:
Wine: 2
WinXP: 21
Number of apps where both scores were equal is 2, in both cases the site
called it a win for Wine, which is a falsehood. To anyone objective 2
identical scores is a tie, not a win to either. This makes the wins by
Wine only 65, not 67.
Number of apps where the win was under 1%, therefore you could argue
that the results were close enough to call it a tie (not a clear win):
Wine: 21
WinXP: 2
Therefore Wine had a lead of 1% or more on 44 tests, WinXP had a lead of
1% or more on 61 tests (and WinXP leads by a larger average margin on
those). That amounts to a very clear win to WinXP!
This is why I run Windows apps on WinXP and Linux apps on SUSE or
Knoppix.
And remember: If you want to run a Windows app on Linux with Wine, it
may not even work.
