Wine isn't going anywhere. I've no idea what would
make you even wonder. Wine is ongoing and recently
Corel threw itself behind the effort as well. WineHQ
releases a new version just about once a month (or
two). I just installed the December release...haven't
tested it much yet other than trying to get the game
Alpha Centauri (Sid Meyer) to install. It tries but
runs into a weird install shield issue. Try the
newest (or newer) version of wine. What you want to
use may work.

Well, I certainly hope it does not go away, and I'm sure it probably
won't. WINE and VMWare are two totally different approaches to
running Win32 apps on a Linux box, and each approach has it's
seperate merits and deficiencies.
