I have to agree with @Mark Cariaga (mzc)

The bug was never  sent a proper solution.
The reason is that there are a large base of software running ONLY on Windows.
Wine is hard at this moment to be configured and  there are so many things that can go wrong that never 
In order to be able to  fix this bug, wine must be fixed in the same way microsoft engineers thought about. It can be done (see reactos for example ) but only with the help of entire community

I have to tell that from some point of view, open source comunity was
not so wheel organised in order to fix what need to be fixed instead of
adding and adding more and more features.

So, Microsoft can do such things like "Windows Subsystem for Linux" (ok
some times ago was another similar project with small impact , Windows
Subsystem for Unix ) ) and open source developers are not able to  ? Is
this for real ? Is this a non fixable bug ?

P.S
Why everybody in recruitment use Microsoft Word format instead of open document format ??? Have Microsoft win the battle ?

Bug description:

  ------

  Microsoft has a majority market share in the new desktop PC
  marketplace. This is a bug which Ubuntu and other projects are meant
  to fix. As the philosophy of the Ubuntu Project states, "Our work is
  driven by a belief that software should be free and accessible to
  all."

  "Ubuntu software is free. Always was, always will be. Free software gives everyone the freedom to use it however they want and share with whoever they like. This freedom has huge benefits. At one end of the spectrum it enables the Ubuntu community to grow and share its collective experience and expertise to continually improve all things Ubuntu. At the other, we are able to give access to essential software for those who couldn’t otherwise afford it – an advantage that’s keenly felt by individuals and organisations all over the world."
       * http://www.ubuntu.com/project/about-ubuntu/our-philosophy

  Non-free software leaves users at the mercy of the software owner and
  concentrates control over the technology which powers our society into
  the hands of a few. Additionally, proprietary software stifles
  innovation, maintains artificial scarcities, and enables malicious
  anti-features such as DRM, surveillance, and other monopolistic
  practices.

  This bug is widely evident in the PC industry.

  Steps to repeat:

      1. Visit a local PC store.
      2. Attempt to buy a machine without any proprietary software.

  What happens:

  Almost always, a majority of PCs for sale have Microsoft Windows pre-
  installed. In the rare cases that they come with a GNU/Linux operating
  system or no operating system at all, the drivers and BIOS may be
  proprietary.

  What should happen:

  A majority of the PCs for sale should include only free software.
