Not everyone has access to CS 4 to test it.

While Photoshop, et al are important, it's a lot of work to get working. It
still isn't however, a lot of applications.

Don't let Vitaliy get to you. If you think you can fix it, please give it a
try.

Wine strives to get _all_ applications to work. Many of those 'age-old crap'
applications are old proprietary business applications that are vital for
others. Everyone has a different killer app. We can't fix them all at once, so
some people luck out if their application gets supported first.

Voicing your opinion is good, though bugzilla really isn't the proper place for
it. Please use Bugzilla for technical discussions only.

Vitaliy, please be a bit more civil.
