Wine or Android

linux-howto

http://ubuntuforums.org – I will be using some software which is compatible with Windows 7 and 8 and an Android version is promised soon (it is to run a Janty Mid which won't mean anything to you unless you are a vaper - smoker turned nicotine inhaler). I have never used Wine. Does it bring any vulnerability to Windows viruses and malware? If it does I may well install a second linux OS just for wine and dual boot, so advise please if there is a Linux known to work particularly well with Wine & Windows. Sorry but I'm alergic to Microsoft. Would I be better using the Android version - I haven't a touch screen. (Hardware)
