Wine does not require Windows.  I recently used it to run several fun 
Humongous Adventure games (Pajama Sam, no near to fear when there's Lightning

Instead of Quicken, why not use GnuCash?  It loads Quicken files.

person's attempt to run Rosetta Stone under Wine.  Is this the same program 
you want to use?  Check with them - maybe they got it going, or someone else 
did.  I didn't reasearch it long at all.  Check
