Basically because of the loss of functionality (a window
inside a window, each with a different task bar, is a
pain in the neck).  I ran XP in a VM to run things for the
longest time.  Was tickled to get it to run natively.

If Spice ever gets Coherence (seamless windows) going, that
may be what I have to do.  Wine runs well in Fedora Core 21
and is typically at or near the latest version.
