Apps That Officially Support Wine

David Gerard writes "Wine (the Windows not-an-emulator for Unix) runs Windows applications more often than not. (Certainly more often than Vista does.) Dan Kegel on the wine-users mailing list/forum has started gathering apps that declare Wine a supported platform. And there's now a Wine Support Honor Roll page on the Wine wiki. We need more apps that work with Wine stating that they consider it a supported platform. If you write Win32 open source or shareware, please open yourself to the wider market!"

    ...when are you going to drop the zero and get with the hero? yip yip.

    The only thing that would be better than being able to run CS3 or even CS4 in wine? Running it natively in a *nix.

    Neither the software that came with my scanner nor the software that came with my printer run in Vista.

    Wow, have we really gotten to the point where we're this thin skinned? Perhaps somebody needs their mod points revoked.

    "...would be more tolerable on Fox News"...? So, you're criticizing (and I agree) biased advocacy reporting, and then go on to make an unsupported assertion that Fox News is singularly biased, as compared to what, CNN, MSNBC, CBS, ABC, NBC, NPR, and oh, by-the-way-BBC? As long as we're just baselessly asserting our individual biases, I would declare that the networks that I mentioned are far more biased than Fox. There. Don't have to back that up. It's just true. Period.
