Wine @ Work: Running MS Office and IE on Linux

,----[ Quote ]
| I like Wine and it works well for a lot of applications — well enough, in 
| fact, to somewhat silence the “Microsoft compatibility crowd.” I think now 
| that it’s almost version 1.0 release ready, it will garner more interest, 
| developers, and adopters. I see no reason why it shouldn’t for those who 
| believe that they must have certain brands of apps running in their 
| environment.

The making of Wine (how to make Windows apps merrier with Linux)

,----[ Quote ]
| Enterprises badly want alternatives to
| Windows. Desktop Linux has come a long way since 1999, too. and (who knew?)
| the Mac has become the ultra chic, must-have PC. The enterprise has its
| alternatives - if it can only get those mission critical Windows apps to work
| flawlessly. Wine, in its commercial form, has been doing so for years.
|
| So, in 2008, the 1.0 version will hit the streets and the timing could not be
| more perfect. White admits that not every Windows application will work
| flawlessly on Wine, but many a critical one for the enterprise has been
| specifically optimized.
