using the list in case anyone else cares about the answer.

it does not.  that's the beauty of this setup.  I've got the Crossover
plugin installed on my machines at home, and Transgaming's "gaming"
version of wine, too.  I don't have windows installed at home on those
PCs (in fact, I only have one dual-boot P120 that has win95 on it).

So, no dual-boot setup/dedicated windows partition necessary.  In some
cases, with WINE or WINE-based products (like codeweaver and
transgaming's offerings), it is a plus if you do have a native win
installation (as you can use the real windows DLLs for things like
directx, etc), but these products are fairly complete.
