Although the studios did fund some Wine work back in 2002, I don't think they had much to do with it this time. I happen to have visited the renderfarm folks of three Hollywood studios / effects houses (Digital Domain, Dreamworks, and Disney) while chatting them up about http://zumastor.org. While I was there, I asked them whether they were interested in Photoshop on Linux. One said "Yeah, but we're moving to vmware"; another said "Yeah, but most of our artists now use Macs". I think some of the improvements might have been due to two interns who worked for me: James Hawkins fixed lots of installer issues, and Mikolaj Zalewski fixed a bunch of other little things. Codeweavers has been fixing some bugs recently, too; I think there are a couple fixes in wine's trunk that will appear in wine-0.9.52. Speaking of which: I'm still organizing some Photoshop bug fixing. If you know of any bugs in Photoshop 7, CS, or CS2 under Wine, please report those bugs either in Wine's appdb or in Wine's bugzilla. Or just email me. We're past all the easy bugs, we need some serious photoshop users to really test and complain. There are a couple gotchas - wine has to be built with a recent compiler, and CS/CS2 activation still requires the workaround described in http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10018#c16, and Bridge still doesn't work - but otherwise it's in pretty good shape.
