    It all depends on what you want to use Linux for. Almost by definition no commercial packages are available for it; there are a few Java based ones, typically database administration tools. WINE exists, it's pretty limited in scope and has mostly been used to get a few older games going.

    If you want to get work done then use OS X or Windows. If you want to tinker then have fun but I suspect you'll have very limited success in getting non-Linux tools working.

    IMHO, a better approach is to consider RDP or VNC for running Windows or OS X sessions on a Linux system.
