At the risk of straying OT;

IMO, the problem with wine is that it inexplicably deteriorates more
with each new build. For example, the 20050111 version works splendidly
with wine-tools for a flawless IE6/WMP installation while anything newer
barfs - badly. Indeed, IIRC, CrossoverOffice is built on a year old
version of wine and Sidenet requires a vintage version as well.

I'm sure that there must be a better forum to move this discussion to.
The point is, why maintain wine for extras when the most current version
doesn't seem to do very much?
