They have a support forum, im sure they would help people with issues.

What's shitty about it? they are a small distro who is bundling CrossOver
and Wine
and annoucing that they provide  support for a select  number of Windows
applications
and games..  Seems to me you would be delighted by this publisity of Wine.

Also, IneedAname CrossOver Pro cost $69.95 up until yesterday, then it went
on Valintines
Day sale and was ruducet to $59.95 ...

See:
http://www.wine-reviews.net/wine-reviews/cxoffice-linux/codeweavers-valentines-day-sale.html

And even if they are in some way vilolating the GPL by not hosting the
operating systems source
that has absoloutly nothing to do with Wine... You guy's need to take that
up with gnu.org
