Morning Tzahi, This is really depends - the biggest problem with Lindows wine and Outlook 2000 for example is that when Outlook runs - you don't really have any control of it so much - you can start it, freeze it (^Z), stop it, kill it - but if a virus got in - you're in trouble.. Lets imagine this thing - you're sending me by accident a virus which doesn't even requires me to open the mail - preview is enough. Now (for this example) I use Outlook 2000 and (lets say) I'm a dumb user - the moment I get your email - my machine starts spitting out mails with viruses like a machine gun!. Now - just like in standard windows - if I have a good Anti virus here running on wine - then I'm free from troubles - but as it is today - I cannot install any anti virus (that I know) under Wine - so it's a huge risk.
