Is WINE CRIPPLED?

Posted by: Anonymous Coward on April 29, 2006 11:20 AM
I have been observing the WINE (Windows Emulator, or, WINE is not an Emulator) for a long time now and it has never installed Microsoft Office properly.

There is always some problem with the installation.

After so many years, the installation of Office 2000 (or even 2003) should be a breeze, but it is not.

Do you think this is deliberate?

Do you think that the WINE group is led by someone who wants WINE to fail?

When certain programs install well with a certain release of WINE, you can be certain that will not be the case with the next edition. The installation will be "accidentally" broken.

Do you think this is deliberate, or just "accidental"?
