Hmmm. I've been an on-again, off-again user of Wine, but, like most (or
so I imagine), I've found it to be "not *quite* there." I was planning on
getting Win4Lin 3.0 when it came out; while I don't expect Wine to be able
to compete head-to-head with (commercial, closed-source, uses Windows
libraries) Win4Lin, is it to the point where it can be used fairly
reliably? How's the font support looking? Does it [still] crash when
looked at sideways?
Thanks...
