There's no reason to run it except for testing (since there are copious Linux native versions available, not to mention that a $2 pack of cards will do just as well). However, it's quite simple, so it makes a good test to see whether Wine is working at all before trying to get complicated applications working.> I thought that explorer was a relative simple program.Now I've heard everything.

You can get a rough idea of some of the things Explorer does by messing around with LiteStep for a while and noticing what is different or just plain doesn't work right. Alternately, you can take my word for it that the little windows you see showing directories and files are only a very small part of what Explorer does.
