I can say that I have had great success with it, and, also not so great experiences other times. It really all depends on which Windoze app you are trying to run, and which vintage Windoze you are trying to emulate.

These days, I have not needed to run anything Windoze, except for the occasional setup code that comes with a techno-thingy, and which assumes everyone runs Windoze.
