I used windows out of concern that my university may use an application unavailable on Linux (I'm an electrical engineering major) I shouldn't have been since even if there isn't, I could always use bottles/wine to get the .exe file.
That's fair. I've noticed that Wine's support of non-game software can be hit or miss depending on what it is.
I'd say your case is more necessity than willingness.
