After screwing around with the latest wine today, I can say a couple of
things about it:
 
(1) it is still way, way behind Windows 98, which is itself many years old.
It couldn't run any of the few Windows programs that I actually use anymore.
Having things "almost" or "sort of" work does not cut
it, in my book; and
 
(2) I have to wonder why your friend was loading linux when it sounds like
he'd be better off sticking with windows, if he's wanting to run windows
office, windows games, etc.
