See one of my previous E-mail messages. We are looking at 60K NIS. If we can round up a group of companies with total of 600 potential Wine users, then this should be doable - with 100NIS/head, the companies would save costs of dual-booting, VM deployments and licenses on extra copies of MS-Windows XP that they'd otherwise need. --- Omer -- By running MS-Windows XP on your PC, you are probably a multi-zombie.
