It will look

even nicer if you install the High DPI patch from the suite page.

Update Wine

It probably ships with an outdated Wine. You need the latest. Most apps work. You'll need to ask ReactOS how to do that as it varies by OS.

Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!

Well then.

You probally won't get them to work as the Applications are Windows applications that may also run under WINE as WINE is a compatiability layer for Windows like programs on Linux.

ReactOS

ReactOS is an operating system aimed to being the Open-Source clone of Windows and not linux. Therefore it doesn't not use wine. They just share their discoveries with wine to help wine out with their project.

Oh, I see.

Thanks. But they're still not tested to work on ReactOS, so I dunno...

ReactOS is still in it's

ReactOS is still in it's alpha stages anyway. Right on their site, they said it's not recommended for everyday use. It'll be awesome when it's up and running, but for now, I don't see much reason for John to try and test these on ReactOS
