'Great Question'

Hmm, to run wine I guess not but yeah, you will need to have windows installed to run most of the programs. Like for example if you have a program called "ABC", to install ABC, you have a file called setup.exe. Now to run setup.exe, i.e. to install the program ABC, I guess you would need Windows to do that, but yeah, you might say cant I use wine to run setup.exe, I would say maybe you might but I am not sure. Anyways, I will also be looking forward to this thread for more replies you will get

Nope, you don't need Windows to use Wine

Check out this howto for IE 5.0 that helps you set up a non-Windows wine environment.
