I'm not sure about the stable and the testing release, but wine 2004 is much more stable than before, and something like font aliasing and other registry works fine too ... i use it to run Lotus Notes 5.02 client, and it just fine, but the launch feature still not working, i guess wine can't use the outside wine application to run the inside application. i define in outside and inside application because I think it was 2 different way to look at it, but the clipboard works good, and still have a lot of format type didnt works. regards, arief SaravanaKumar wrote: >> ... > Thanx. but users here complain that wine is slow. Any way i will try to stick to the old version(2003122).But may be i need to buy some windooz for the unpatient here. > > SK > Just for the record, I have been running mainly Office, Visio and Notes on Wine for a fair while now, and also have a Windows 2000 install that I dual-boot to occasionally. I haven't noticed any difference in performance between Wine and Windows. Wine is more stable. The apps still crash occasionally but they don't take the OS with them. The only problem I've experienced with Wine is compatibility. Office 97 runs fine but I haven't been able to get a later version to work. Maybe the Wine developers need to classify releases as "stable" or "testing" and maintain a link on their home page saying which release is the latest for each of these categories: Latest stable release: 20031212 Latest testing release: 2004whatever Although they'll say that all releases are 'testing' because it's still 'pre-release software', there are many people using it in production and going through the upgrade/test/downgrade cycle everytime a new release comes out. _______________________________________________ wine-users mailing list wine-users@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.winehq.org/mailman/listinfo/wine-users Arifin - IT ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- PT.
