This is a very old project and is well known.  Games can be built to run
on just about anything.  However, can you find a commercial production
program that does the same?  (StarOffice is one that I know of, but it
requires specific code and builds for the various platforms it runs on.) 

Until something like this is available for the office environment, we
still NEED and REQUIRE Wine.  When that day arrives, many IT folks will
celebrate.
