This isn’t really FUD, so I apologize in advance. Nonetheless, I felt it was worthy to share. It’s an animated gif based on compatibility ratings from the Wine HQ.
Colour legend starting from the top:
First: Software that runs flawlessly
Second: Software that runs flawlessly with configuration
Third: Software with minor issues
Fourth: Software with major Issues
Fifth: Unusable software
Next time a Linux fan tells you to run Wine, please slap them. A less-than-20-percent ratio for software running “flawlessly” is shockingly unacceptable, and proof that “Linux+Wine” is no replacement for Windows.

And probably the most obscure representation of data possible. No units on the axis and a animated gif for data that can be represented with a simple xy-plot. Do the linux kids of today believe animated graphs are l33t?
Maybe not FUD, but FUN.
I particularly like the way that the garbage rating doesn’t decrease, much. Coincidentally, it’s also brown.
Love the “750 × 500 pixel; no higher resolution available.” Maybe it’s just my rancid old Win XP Home computer. On the other hand, what possible benefit would accrue from a higher resolution?
I’ve spent the best part of twenty years staring at pointless PowerPoint presentations, but this one is a winner for Worst In Class.
YouAgain, I don’t think you understand, they wanted to put units and axis info and non-ugly colours, but they’re using OpenOffice and none of those features are available yet.
Don’t worry, I’m sure the Wine team is really interested in fixing those issues in OpenOffice with all their spare time.
