And yes - with MoI v3 running under WINE is easier - you don't have to install any additional things like IE, just the stock core WINE install with no extras is fine and it automatically adds that registry key that is needed to make the icons work.

From my testing, the only difficult part can be getting a good quality and stable video driver installed so that the hardware accelerated GPU can be used - from what I can tell that seems to be the main problem that may be encountered with running under Linux.
