------- Additional Comments From michael.s.gilbert at gmail.com  2005-02-12 21:38 -------
i'm advocating automation.  in order for wine to work optimally for the average
user, she shouldn't have to know that a softlink is necessary to make the
activex control work properly.  she shouldn't even have to know what an activex
control replacement is.  she should just know that running 'wine <windows
application>' installs her application and it works.  she shouldn't have to jump
through hoops about should i install this or that; should i click-through this
or that.  i mean most users will not know what installing an activex control
really means. so statistically, 50% will say yes, and 50% will say no.  hence,
wine will not work as expected for 50% of the users, and they will say this
software isn't useful because all they see is that their software of choice
didn't work.

i'm trying to provide the average user's perspective here.  and i think this
issue is too important to discard prematurely, so i am reopening.  i'd hope to
see this addressed before 1.0 as people will draw their final conclusions about
wine once it hits 1.0.  and it will be hard to sway them back after that.

regards,
mike
