Examples: MetaTrader 4 on Linux
Yes Linux is great, some would say mandatory, but when will MetaQuotes help to ensure that MT5 will run under WINE and LINUX ???????
The cost to get tweak WINE to allow it to run MT5 backtesting agents would be easily affordable.
Any Windows-compatible software could run natively under Linux if the .dll and environment needed would be fully replicated.
But many .dll are microsoft copyrighted and cannot used without a windows license.
The WINE and CrossOver projects works to fill this gap recreating the .dll needed.
This work require time and effort, also to keep the updates running.

On Ubuntu 14.04 LTS, manually install dependence below BEFORE Wine 1.6 to avoid 'Software center' freeze.
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install ttf-mscorefonts-installer
Accept license agreement by pressing ⇆ <TAB> then <ENTER> ↵.
After that, Wine installation through 'Software center' works like a charm.
