The new president of Red Hat, when asked about desktop linux, said:
"My simple answer is until Apple's iTunes runs on consumer Linux
desktops, it's not going to take off. I know you can run Wine, which
runs Windows applications on Linux, so techies will beat me up on
that, but fundamentally there are some major device driver issues with
products that people like to use and this limits adoption. It's going
to be slow until these issues are solved."

Vienna migrates some Linux workstations to Vista because
a single app, Schlaumäuse, crashes under Wine.
Looks like they send the software out upon request
to teachers; see http://www.schlaumaeuse.de/
(Can somebody send me a copy?)
