Since it is impossible to please everyone all the time, how would you rank the following groups in terms of importance? When I say 'importance' I mean expending effort to understand the needs of and attempting satisify.
(a) Your customers (b) Your shareholders (c) Your employees (d) Open source community
At home I have two computers (on a LAN of course). At Windows ME box and a Red Hat Linux 8.0 box. The Linux box is used exclusively by my girls (14, 12 and 9). They have very few problems using OpenOffice and and several websites such as neopets and others which use java applets and flash. My oldest likes to download clips so I paid $24 for cross-over plugin, which got quicktime working well, but not ms media player. The WINE CD-ROM angle isn't likely to work, my understanding is cd-rom games are often copy-protected which is not supported by WINE. You might want to investigate transgaming which has adapted WINE for use is some popular titles.

Thank you.
Interestingly SCO itself appears to be boycotting SCO UNIX! Look what they're running!
