Even though wine versions get released often and the weekly

impression that wine only changes over time, but doesn't improve?
I get the same impression, but I have to realise that I have my own
agenda - i.e I want to get a few Windows apps working reliably in Wine
on a long term basis so I can migrate to Linux completely. My 'killer'
apps are MS Money 2004 (which currently is broken) and a UK tax
calculation package (which I have only just started to look at under
Wine).
However, I get the impression that games get a lot more attention and
excite the devlopers more than my boring business apps. I can't
complain. Except for the contributions of Codeweavers, all the
developers are volunteers and we cannot (must not) make them feel
obliged to sort out our specific problems.

It is the stated philosophy of the wine team that the goal of wine is
accuracy, not to run more apps.
So, eventually wine will run 100% accurate and exactly 0 apps.
