I've always just set up Wine myself, but seeing as how this automates this to a certain extent, I think I'll gladly try that. Especially since Civ5 is officially supported. I'll see about renewing the subscription afterwards, but the prices are a bit steep for me.

havent really found it useful...have tried couple of trials..without much of a success
pure wine or playonlinux seem to work better.
seems crossover is more focused on mac stuff...

Looking over the officially supported stuff, the ratings seem ridiculous? Most of the source games are marked brozne, yet they work flawlessly in clean wine! And it also applies to many others!

Me thinks they get a little too facetious at times...
EDIT: I am also depressed by the amount of native games and applications listed as being supported either by Codeweavers or the community. I mean seriously, who would want to wine Firefox!?

Shockwave is a reason, although I can't see anyone using it today.

Yeah, well, most of the things I would want out of Shockwave can be replaced by NaCL.
Still wish eZone would convert some their titles over, I might email and see if I can dig up anything about that.
