.....is their an advantage against hackers?

You mean crackers, hackers are [usually] friendly people who are experts at using computers, and, or have programming experience.

There is an advantage against crackers, and malware (eg. spyware, and virus'), mostly because Windows is the primary target for attackers, but also because you need root access to do any real damage to a computer running Linux.

one, requires the "windows" files to be accessable

Untrue, Wine does NOT require any access to windows what so ever.

Wine works with any windows program, that doesnt need, or require, DirectX.

Also untrue. Wine has it's own built-in version of DirextX, however, it's currently unfinished, and many DirectX apps don't run. There's also many programs that don't require DirectX, and don't run under Wine.
