There were also a few weird things I never figured out...like WHY my mouse buttons were periodically reversing in wine. I used to use wine +winetools for my production machines. Later versions of wine are broken with winetools. I have since moved to crossover and am currently using crossover beta with Office Firefox Serif PagePlus,Drawplus,and Photo Plus. I am also using using CorelDraw9 Suite with the beta. The Beta has been a drastic improvement over the Crossover Standard. FWIW I have msn messenger working in the beta.Also ie6. I also have the Google Picassa2 installation AND a straight wine installation. The only time they interfere is if you end up with conflicting shortcuts in /home/username/binary...this probably won't be a factor unless you need to use winetools. The Standard will run Office quite well however. One note I added scripting visual basic runtimes etc to my default bottle.
