I use it to run EccoPro and Lotus Approach, both of which I use for work.
I see comments saying they can't get wine to work, strange. Anyways I mainly use it for Picasa 3.6, Air Video and Battle-Field 2
I would, but I can never get it to work.
its sole purpose on my pc is so that I can lan Windows games with my friends
Hi
I use it to run Cproxy.
Never could get wine to work right. For those rare occasions when I need one, I've got a windows partition, or I did until recently. The M/B in my PC died a horrible death. After installing the old H/D in another box, Linux worked (of course), but I couldn't get past the BSOD on windows. I suppose I'll end up re-installing it at some point...
I use debian for servers, ubuntu on my desktop and maemo on my mobile - and I care quite deeply about Free Software, but Spotify and World of Warcraft still keeps a copy of wine on ubuntu occupied most days.
I have it installed, but the better question is: do you actually use it? I have been running Linux on the desktop for 14 years, and I KEEP trying to run every sort of game and Windows-only program I come across under "stock" Wine, or CrossOver, or Cedega. Other than a couple of one-off successes, the only time this technology really did anything for me was when I was using CrossOver to run Office 2000 under RedHat 7.2 (with Ximian Gnome). Everything else has been a waste of time trying.
Most recently, I was desperately trying to run an old adventure game called The Longest Journey, and finally gave up after fiddling with all the settings for a couple of hours. I also can no longer play Battlefield 2; it doesn't run under Windows 7. But I know from previous experience that, while it plays BETTER under Wine than Windows XP, Wine-based technologies do not, and CAN not, ever, support Punkbuster. So there's no reason to try running online multiplayer games with it.
I have eight computers running Linux in my house, but you'll have to pry my Windows partition out of my cold, dead hands. It's the only realistic way to play games on a PC.
I don't use Wine. I have a Windows partition for those rare occasions when I need to do something in a Windows application (Flash, AutoCAD). And by "rare" I mean once a month.
I use sqlyog (mysql frontend) at work every day running on wine. It runs 24h/7, is very stable, even though I use a SSH tunnel with putty to connect to 10 different servers.
Keep up good work !
Yes, because of IrfanView. I haven't found any decent, simple image viewer/editor that can replace it in Linux.
I dont have wine, and I dont want to...first of all I have pretty much everything@ Linux, but for some applications (skype and gmail video chat, which dont work with Wine) I prefer XP.
I do have wine installed because of Spotify. Bless the day there's a native official release.
Yes - I do. I write a lot of tutorials for my job/enterprise (education) and i love to use linux screen snapshots to capture windows... also I love to use recordmydesktop to record windows programs actions... wine is a must!
I do for Age of Empires 2 although there are still problems under wine which make me reboot into xp
I actually just got a beta invitation for Starcraft 2 just this morning! I will prolly use wine for that.
I do, but if i could, I wouldn't.
Only for few games.
I've got wine installed for Excel and Word 2007 but nothing else. I had it installed initially mp3tag but have found that EasyTag is just as useful
I do for Spotify. And I really need to get Sony Ericsson Media Go running on Linux. I have managed to get until it installs Windows Installer 4.5 and then it crashes. Hopefully someone can find a fix for Win Installer 4.5 to install under wine.
