</div>I would have thought that small distros would be the worst people to<br>
bundle Wine, especially if they charge for it under the illusion of<br>
support. At least the larger distros have the resources to do limited<br>
support of running apps in Wine before sending them off to winehq.<br>

</div>No matter what you think, this particular distro looks very shifty to<br>
me. Possible license violations (not that I'm an expert, and I'd<br>
welcome an expert opinion).<br>
<div class="Ih2E3d"><br></div></blockquote><div><br>What's shitty about it? they are a small distro who is bundling CrossOver and Wine<br>and annoucing that they provide support for a select number of Windows applications<br>
and games.. Seems to me you would be delighted by this publisity of Wine.<br><br>Also, IneedAname CrossOver Pro cost $69.95 up until yesterday, then it went on Valintines<br>Day sale and was ruducet to $59.95 ...<br><br>

that has absoloutly nothing to do with Wine... You guy's need to take that up with <a href="http://gnu.org">gnu.org</a> <br><br>Tom<br></div></div><br>
