Water, H2O... unlike carbon monoxide and whatever else current IC engines spew out is a very useful and re-usable substance.
You could collect it and maybe clean it up and run your toilet with it. Or collect it and green the desert with it. Or whatever, all that is really besides the point.
You cannot honestly label water as "waste". For as you and I are 90+% waste then;)
I seriously hope I can word this not to sound "elitist", but IMHO running Windows applications on Linux is not a good thing(tm).
As Linux gets more dsesktop orientated, momentum has been building to reduce two "shortcomings" of Linux:
1) Simple application installation (RPMs, apt-get, +++)
2) More applications
I personally am amazed how complete the Linux desktop has gotten. So why is there a need to complicate things for the user again? If a user learns the software installation process for his Linux distro, I don't think it would be a good idea to mix windows application installation into this.
Get OpenOffice instead of CrossOverOffice, use Gimp, try Kino. There are great Linux applications out there.
Windows applications run very well on windows.
I do understand the argument of "In order to get Joe to use Linux he will need to be able to run App X". But instead I would like for Joe to wait until Linux app Y is able to do what App X can do on windows.
And IMHO we developers should focus on app Y and not trying so hard to get app X to run on Linux. The better and faster we cann achieve this, the more users will be able to accept Linux as a true alternative OS.
