Looks like a worthwhile project.

My wife talked me into to switch from a PC to a Mac. I've never looked
back. Wine is the bridge to capture those Windows applications that do
not have a Mac front end or just will never, ever be ported to the Mac.
I still have a PC in the house, but it is more a 'play toy' than a work
machine. It is getting a new hard drive and Fedora 8 (9 is not ready
for prime-time yet.) That will get rc2/rc3 installed on it and much
testing.
