Wine vs Windows Benchmarks

    I quite agree. Last time I tried Wine it didn't run any of my favourite Windows applications. I'm not talking crappy shareware utilities that I can learn to live without - I'm talking showstoppers like OpenOffice.org, Firefox, and Cygwin, all the really critical tools I use every day.

    Why on Earth are you putting emphasys on Wine not being to run things which already have Linux native ports?
