That is true. Wine continues to improve, so more applications tend to work. For those applications, there are bound to be some things that don't work right or look right. And then there are regressions, but such is the nature of software :). Out of interest, which applications do you use? And what are the issues that, when resolved, would make you a happy user? (You could be our second user in this experiment ^_^). Thanks, - Reece
