That's a good point. Has anyone gotten Outlook to run under Wine?
I, for one, would happily run Word and Outlook on my boxen if it were
available.
(Well maybe I wouldn't be happy about running Word but I'm stuck until
the world learns what a wonderful thing Latex is.)
Sadly I don't believe that wine will work well as long as M$ is still a
single company. Breaking them into application and OS is the only way
that I
believe they would ever release an API that is complete and correct.
later,
Andy
