I'd be real impressed if one day they can get the windows store working and by extension the windows games subscription service (not cloud).
Allot of people won't move to linux or even try it because they depend (unfortunately) on the windows games subscription service (pc and xbox)

I'm stuck with proprietary software that will only work with IE so I am waiting for ie 10 or 11 to work on wine

Wine supplies its own "IE", based on mshtml (which is based on wine-gecko, which just saw a new update this time). Note that even native IE is based mostly on mshtml, that's its core engine. In theory you shouldn't need native IE at all. But I guess there's plenty of things missing in wine's mshtml.

I don't think anyone is going to put in the effort to make a dead browser work in Wine.
