   I'm running mint with wine 1.3.15 and typing in palemoon portable. Complaining about wine makes for a good laugh.

   "Slipped it in - ...Even the various paid versions of Wine that some companies sell doesn't fix this."
   
   Ummm, you do realize WINE is open source? If you're paying for a version of "WINE" than you got yourself ripped off!

   Reviewing 1.3.25 Development (Jul 25, 2011)

   This program finally works. Kind of. Low end games that use yesteryear's DirectX version now work. Except for the issue where going from full screen at 800x600 resolution back to windowed mode doesn't work. In my computer's case, going from this mode to windowed mode should change my resolution back to 1920x1080 and show my game in a window. Instead, my resolution stays at 800x600 and I'm unable to access any of the menus in Gnome 3 under Fedora 15. This program is still total crap.

   Reviewing 1.3.23 Development (Jun 29, 2011)

   I still wonder why obsessed Windows fanboys opine here even though they don't use Linux or/and Wine. Besides their "opinions" are usually factually incorrect: 1 out of 5 means the product is absolutely unusable/unstable/pricey/crashes your system/doesn't do anything it supposed to do.
   
   Wine is nothing of that. It's free and it's constantly improving even though it tries to mimic an absolutely closed system which is Windows OS.
   
   Indigenous accusers probably haven't written a single line of code and still dare to criticize Wine. Pity you.

   Reviewing 1.3.23 Development (Jun 27, 2011)

   I agree with 'Slipped it in' and 'Mr Swifter', unfortunately (except I'd disagree with Mr Swifter's comment about Wine running programs the same as ReactOS--nothing is quite as bad as going-nowhere ReactOS).
   
   You'd think that after all these years Wine would be ready for prime time but it's nowhere near it. Like ReactOS, it's a kludged mashed up system that's messy and fiddly and really a pain for the ordinary user to get working. (And this version isn't noticeably improved over previous ones.)
   
   As 'Mr Swifter' says 'If you want to run Windows apps then just get Windows.'
