Even though using Wine for apps remains a hit and miss, I've had some very good experiences working with it. At work, I'm developing a closed source Delphi application. Even though the full Delphi 2007 development environment does not run in Wine, I can run the compiler and the resulting application which is very complex (lots of COM and OpenGL) runs for 95% in Wine. It's good to know that we can get this working if customers start asking for it.

Click on the big alphanumerical hyperlink and download the exe.
Give an alias and run it.
This will do conformance tests on your computer and it is very important to the wine project.
Don't try to do anything usefull while testing since it will do a wide range of things including directX tests which will make your screen display colorfields.
If you get errors or crashes, just click on OK or close. This is part of the testing. I'm sure the people working on the wine project will be very happy with it.
