> And, for a game from 2006, you'll probably have to pray to the Windows-compatibility-mode gods at this point, too. I actually wouldn't be surprised, if it worked better under WINE...

That's just not true. I've got plenty of games from 2006 and earlier than run just as good as they originally did. Sure Oblivion crashes, but it did in 2006. Half-Life 2 runs pretty darn well. Company of heroes? Yep. Dawn of War and the expansions? Sure.

In fact, my overall gaming experience on windows 10 is far better than it was on windows xp and vista. Less overall crashing, and I never get bluescreens any more.

For what it's worth, I find a lot of older games I try to run on Win 10 crash, or don't work 100%. KOTOR, for instance. So while I can get a lot to work more or less flawlessly, that's more-or-less a tie with wine.
