I second that: "native support" is much more important than "works in WINE": appears to me that it's only matter of "user base"/"market share" now (WINE already did it's work :P)

Re:I would say Linux..

What's lacking is the software support for a lot of major "must have" applications. WINE solves much (most?) of that, but isn't always the most user-friendly software to set up, particularly for the sort of people that are most likely to need it.

I don't think so: almost all "pro-software" is linux compatible (native or through WINE, like you sad), what make GNU/Linux stills lags behind on the Desktop are games (very much AAA titles stills DirectX-only, or it's a mess to work via WINE [when software updates crashes functions...]), what makes "tech-savy" people (most of family technical support) still use (and spread) Windoze...
