Inside of a VM, of course. Can't have enough protection!

Then you remember that the VMware hypervisor was broken recently...

that's fine, run the hypervisor inside virtualbox. For extra marks have it communicate to the host via smoke signals.

Is there any way to isolate wine and limit write permisions to user files? I only found this https://askubuntu.com/questions/327223/how-to-isolate-wine#3...

Same way you isolate any program on Linux. SELinux, AppArmor, or running as a dedicated user.

[edit] I suppose there are containers nowadays too.

I'd like to give it a try later today with Wine under Linux VM. Anyone know the download link for wannacry?

I'll update the findings here :)

containers still need apparmor/selinux to be secure; a container is just a packaging method without those.

Blizzard and Adobe, the guardians of Windows.

Many blizzard games work almost perfectly under wine including warcraft 3, starcraft and world of warcraft. Last time I tried starcraft anthology (digital download) I did not have any problems.

Eh? I'm under the strong impression that Adobe works nicer on Mac than Windows.

I haven't noticed much of a difference. Even if there is, there's the matter of the Mac price tag.

and the utter agony of using a Mac if you're used to Windows.

If you lack the budget for a Mac but you want to do graphic design, Windows is the logical choice.
