Hope it's not like here. Somebody told our (now ex-) management that
Wine would allow Linux to run Windows software. The (Now ex-) management
thought: "Wonderful! We'll get an IFL, run Linux (IT'S FREE!!!) and
consolidate xxx Windows servers onto the z800!" They wanted to run a
number of MS Exchange and MS SQL servers on a single IFL on the z800.
What a pain to try to explain to them that they were sold a bill of
goods. And, their reaction was typical: "This is all YOUR fault!"
