: WINE is kinda stalled at the moment AFAIK, mainly due to the success
: of DOSEMU. DOSEMU will prob'ly be able to run proper Windoze apps
: before WINE can! :)

There problem with the dosemu solution is that dosemu (libsvga) does not 
support many graphics cards.  I have a stupid diamond Viper card and I know
that libsvga does not support the higher graphics modes.  Wine will work
with any card supported under X.  I thing the the Wine developers should
work hard at getting MS office working, since that would cause a lot of
people to not touch the real windows.
