WINE is buggy, a moving target, unsupported, and at best provides only partial support for applications considered "fully supported" in WINE. If you run Macs and need a Windows compatibility layer, Microsoft already provides a (fully supported) answer - VirtualPC. If you run Intel Macs and need Windows, what did you buy the Intel Mac for? Too many people pick the operating system based on religious beliefs, platform evangelism or what have you. You pick your application suite first, because it's what gets the work done. THEN you pick the operating environment to run it. If you need Windows software you should be running Windows, not Mac OS X. Switching back and forth between operating environments is a productivity killing nightmare. -- Chris ------------------------- PGP Key: http://astcomm.net/~chris/PGP_Public_Key/ -------------------------
