If you read down into the comments on the various game vendors (e.g. Big Fish Games), I noted that with IE7 installed via winetricks, the game launcher crashes. I have not done any extensive investigation/analysis at this point (maybe for the February report :)). >From experience: - Wine/Gecko will display some pages and work with some vendors, but not all - IE6 works - IE7 crashes when used as an ActiveX component (but works as a browser via iexplore) - IE8 does not work (even as a browser) when using the IE7 recipe See the original report for comments on what works with each vendor. - Reece
