Yes, I can understand that!!! But it's good for some sites that don't
work with other browsers, for testing and because of the DLLs it brings
with. But as with DCOM98 it has one disadvantage: You have to have a
windows copy to use it! Well, as you get one with every PC and Laptop
you buy, I for myself have three different ones in stock, so this should
not be a problem.

Yes. This is a known problem with wine. You are likely to get defunctioning
wine processes after a few hours of playing with wine.
