What I am saying is that if Illustrator breaks on Windows, you might have to reinstall Windows. If it breaks on Linux, you just reinstall in a new wine prefix, or restore from a backup or snapshot. The rest of the system remains unaffected. Does that make sense?
Not really. If illustrator breaks on Windows at the most I'll have to power cycle the PC. I've never heard of it taking Windows down with it.
To even get it functional on wine I'd have to invest untold hours of research and tomfoolery, and then any time it didn't work I'd not know if it was adobe's fault or wine's.
I wouldn't mind doing this kind of thing for a hobby, but not for production software unfortunately.
