It's a very useful product. If you need it, pay for it. There really is nothing wrong with paying for good software. I promise. The world will not hate you for it. Sure, some over zealous geeks might poke fun at you.
I would feel stupid paying my money to them. It's the people in winehq the ones that developed most of the code after many years of work.
I don't know how they must feel about his. It must be a strange feeling seeing how others make profit from your work:-(
There is something that I cannot understand. Doesn't Crossover Office use Wine? Isn't Wine GPL?
Then, how come Wine still struggles to run the same apps? I should be able to download their source code, shouldn't I?
Can I do this? I'd like to use their improvements made to Wine, as stated in the GPL and run it for free. After all, they have used a huge amount of code developed by people who wanted to make their code free.
I totally agree on that.
Of course I admire the GNOME team, but I'd like that their brains joined the KDE team.
They aren't enemies. They code for the same reasons so you are not doing anything bad joining KDE.
Ok,
I think KDE is better to Gnome.
But I have to admit that KDE is slower than Gnome.
I'd like to see some cooperation between KDE-Gnome instead MS-Gnome cooperation.
If you like these themes, try to read "Ensayo sobre la ceguera". This is in Spanish but this book is from the Nobel Prize Saramago which is Portuguese. In english it would be something like "Story about getting blind" or something similar.
I'm sure someone else will tell the title in english.
This book talks about what happens to people when an illness affects everybody and get blind. I'ts an incredible book and explains a history even worse than losing data froms disks. Read this and you will get an impression of what would happen to people in these strange situations. If you tend to be depressive don't read the book:-)

Am I missing anything?

So, nobody has realized that what happened is that either Adobe, either Avid, could have paid some money to this guys if they closed the web page?

Nice, and complete. Although these I find StarOffice slow... In Linux world everything is slow: KDE 2, StarOffice, but I suppose this will improve
