Netflix has changed their over the net policies for watching movies, changing it for a specific number of hours per month to an unlimited service. I haven't used the service much in the past (watched maybe 40 hours over the last year) because it required me to both go into Windows AND use Internet Explorer instead of Firefox. With an unlimited watching policy it now becomes far more interesting to me if it could work in Linux. With a lot of forum threads about how much better Wine has gotten on games I thought I'd give it a try. I emerged the newest stable version of Wine, downloaded Internet Explorer 7.0 and tried to get it started. The immediate result was Wine failed to install IE7. I looked around the WineHQ site but didn't find much specific on Wine in a 64-bit environment so I'm wondering if many people here are using it that way and what the tricks are these days to actually getting something to work AND work well? Even if IE7 works then I'll have to see if the NetFlix integrated player works. I suspect it won't but I'm taking this one step at a time. Thanks, Marki use wine on amd64, without any major problems... i use it for playing some old games i have,without having to switch to windoze... guitar pro 5 also plays well... if anything goes wrong, i check the appdb in winehq.org... usually there are guides and howtos to work around the problem...Thanks for the info. That's good to know and it sounds like you're not doing much of anything AMD64 specific? Also, if you are using the newest version of Wine have you ever tried setting it up from scratch with your apps instead of relying on existing .wine directories? It seems to me that the wine developers often want it both ways. They say that an app works, but it turns out it works only with either an older version of Wine or a new version of Wine but only with an older, prexisting .wine directory. When I go to set up the same app on a new machine from scratch I cannot duplicate what the AppDB says. Just my experience. Thanks again! Cheers, Mark �ιν’�¦w�%�Λl�ιν’�+�f’�)ΰ�+-
well...i have never tried to set it up from scratch...so i don't know what happens...
