I looked at the screenshots. Looks very impressive but very problematic..

Why problematic? simple:

most of those applications requires many tweaks to run.

Example: try to install Office 2k on the latest wineHQ. You'll have lots of
problems installing it, and even if you install, you'll need to do "reboot" -
which is not available unless you have CrossOver office. Same goes to many
applications which have screenshots there....

So think what will happend if users will download wine-snapshot and won't be
able to install the apps that appears in the screenshots? lots of anger, flames,
false bug reports, you name it ;)

Thanks,
Hetz
