Basically Martin we are one of the first cluesticks they run into.  Just telling them how to do stuff they will keep on repeating there bad ways.   Then come back and blame wine or people giving assistance for destorying there system.

Wine does not deserve blame for stupidity.  Remember lot of people will not take responsibility for there own actions and seek to blame others.

You will learn this after a few years supporting wine.   ie Don't give how to alter secuirty until you have check that the user know what they are doing.

Sorry if I seam strict.   When I was starting out I was more lax and saw wine get blamed for things it should never had been.  Like running as root and losing complete OS due to a windows virus running in wine.  Those people came back demanding that wine should be more like a virtual machine.  Not accepting their stupidity.
