Using Wine in a new way

Submitted by José Pedro Arvela on July 10, 2007 - 7:47am

Program: Wine (Wine Is Not an Windows Emulator)
Site: http://www.winehq.org/
Description: It allows that Windows Apps run on Linux (It works as a compatibility lawyer)
License: GNU Lesser General Public License (http://www.winehq.org/site/license) (Freeware and OpenSource)

Can we get a sticky list of requested apps? It would save a lot of searching and repeated requests.

M.S. OutLook    office.microsoft.com              N     N     ?      DNQ

This may should have gone into a specific forum and if so, I apologize. I love my ebooks and keep them on my jump drive. But I can't always be on my own PC (sound familiar). Wish Mobipocket would come out with a reader for jump drives. Anyone know of a solution that I have missed? Thanks! Cob...
