Sure but this doesn't really answer the question of why bother? :) The flip side of the argument is that it's much easier for home users to use alternative systems than business as their Windows compatibility requirements are much lower (as Apple have shown). Most businesses seem to need some level of Windows application compatibility. Wine is better than it's ever been thanks to Microsoft slowing down and us speeding up, but it's still no "just add water" solution. thanks -mike _______________________________________________ Desktop_architects mailing list [email protected] https://lists.osdl.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop_architects
