Many Linux users have experience with Wine, the application compatibility layer which allows some Windows programs to run on UNIX-like machines. During Ubuntu's Open Week event, Mark Shuttleworth was asked about Wine, and how important he believes it is for the success of Ubuntu.

Same here, pirating things just doesn't feel like it used to. I never had any qualms about it before, really but now... The only time I still have no qualms is if I'm looking to obtain a movie or tv series that is not and won't be available for my area/region. In that case, the media industry brought it on themselves... if they'd've released it here I'd've probably bought it instead of pirating it. I don't pirate software anymore though, and I can't imagine going back to doing it again.

Yeah! I am totally with you on this one. Piracy feel very strange now after I moved to Linux full time. Downloading Photoshop just doesn't feel right. Weird but that's just how I feel.
And as you said, I too have complete faith in that all the open source application will get "there" soon. They are being developed very fast and they are all moving in the right direction. That, is the power of FOSS.
