> Will WINE ever be at a point where it would be stable enough to make the case for non-technical users? IMO for everyday use it pretty much already is. Example: I installed MS Office 2010 using the official MS office installer, in a specially isolated Wine environment using a somewhat cumbersome command-line. This is expert-stuff, I agree, but what follows is not. After the installer had completed Wine had picked up the application installations inside Windows and made them available (through wine) in my regular Linux application launcher with nice icons and everything. I didn't lift a finger, and now I could use MS Word like any native Linux app anywhere in Gnome, even associate it with DOCX-files in Nautilus. Call me easily impressed, but I found that above and beyond what I expected wine to do for me.
