Story: A little Wine with your Linux?

The Wine developers seem to agree with the review;
see http://www.winehq.org/hypermail/wine-devel/2003/10/0236.html
"Think this is a fair summary of the current state of things. We really
need to fix InstallShield problems before we go to 0.9, so that people
can just install the apps that work."
CrossOver is a good way to run a few apps very cleanly. It fixes the problems in Wine
just well enough that the apps it supports run
well. The fixes in CrossOver usually find their
way into the main version of Wine if they're
suitable for general use. Everybody wins with
this arrangement. Hats off to Codeweavers for
finding a workable business model for
driving Wine development!
