It goes through the motions of installing, but then won't run.

In my attempts I was able to get past the FlexLM issues. I don't know if that was because FlexLM worked okay on a Mac or I was able to try a developer build that had the licensing removed. Even after that there were issues with the UI code under Wine. Under the covers Tableau does some fairly complex things with the drag and drop APIs that Wine is unable to cope with. I look forward to the day when Tableau will run natiively on more platforms, but it isn't there yet. Austin Dahl
