The last time I used Notes under Wine it was a mess. It worked, but saving files/dirs was an odd battle not to mention the ever so subtle wine crash that took everything down. I must admit though, the last Notes/Wine setup I used was Notes 6 and it seems you've had a good experience with 7/wine. I can't really compare it as you suggest as I don't have Notes 7/Windows to install... could probably find it if I looked and badgered our tech support people, but it's not at hand. Why do you suggest running with only 256MB? I assume you're inferring something about the Eclipse RCP/Expeditor overhead? I have 1GB right now... most configs these days do as well... If you're running Notes 7 on Wine right now, it would be easy to just download the beta and try this test You're probably the first person to say they prefer Linux/wine which I find curious and cool at the same time. I just never got the Wine implementation to work well... but admittedly it's been over a year since I tried it.

To make the test interesting, reboot your computer and tell it to only use 256MB of RAM, measure how long it takes to complete common activities with Notes 7 on Wine and Notes 8 native, both on Linux. e.g. how long does it take to get from when you tell the OS to start Notes to when Notes asks you for your username? I bet the Windows version on Wine will run faster and use less memory, but I'm just guessing here... If you haven't tried Notes in Wine, it works pretty well now, no fiddling needed.
