I know there are plenty of good reasons to not run as root, especially when using a computer that is hooked up to the internet, but can you actually give me a good reason as to not run wine as root? As I mentioned before, I did not create the environment I am running in, it was setup for me by IT, and it appears the company wide image just has one user, root. Is that correct, probably not, am I going to be able to change that, probably not.
