Yes, it's totally differnet from the usual CVS wine - much more advanced in 
the API implementation.

ICQ now installs ok on that wine but some got some inter-process problems 
(the one problem Transgaming solved but hasn't released to the WineHQ tree 
yet).

They are planning to support a very short number of applications in the 
beginning - Office, Lotus stuff (including lotus notes), Quicken, and maybe 
another app or two. Definately not the whole windows app. 

Don't forget that with their wine - it's on the default emulating "win95" 
specifically so you can't install Norton Anti vrius for example, or any other 
since wine itself doesn't support those "nice" VXD craft - so it will be a 
big problem to let user run Outlook 2000 while you can't install an Anti 
virus there (most of them uses VXD).
