WordPerfect 12 does NOT exist for Linux, but does for MacOSX (which is a 
small segment of the users for Wine).

The Gecko engine is based on Chrome.  Thus we DO have to get it to work 
on Wine.

As to the Windows Live problem, you STILL have other IM clients that 
work with it.  If the list does not, contact the maintainers of those 
products.

Lastly, fixing Windows Live is a 'back burner' project.  There are other 
ways to connect to it, and using Wine may actually be prohibited in some 
jurisdictions (read the NEW EULA that Microsoft is slapping on their 
products.)  Microsoft has a ship load (500+) lawyers under contract to 
enforce them and other items like patents.
