@atalaras and @Scott:

First of all guys: wine is able to run many apps - including some very important to many people (Photoshop, MS Office for example), yes new wine version tends to brake things - but that is why users are encourage to do REGRESSION TESTS in order to track those little bugs down (Regression testing is VERY easy - you don't need to be a programmer to do them and report).

Secondly, all those "How to" in appdb are written to USE them, if you openly admit that you "Don't have time" to read them, then don't expect much help here - because many users will simply ignore your request, just like you ignored some "How to" on appdb. If "How to" doesn't work then this is the right place to ask.

And finally...
If you really want to "demand" then simply BUY CrossOver with required level of technical support (or just the support for wine, CodeWavers - company that hires most of wine devs - provides paid support for vanilla wine too if I remember correctly). Remember - this is a user forum, so you won't always get answers to your questions.
