I've long predicted that companies might use Wine for a while to ship Linux-compatible products, and later switch to a native build once they know they have users. Well, now we have at least one example of this: Bricscad (see http://www.bricsys.com ). This is a *good* thing, and validates somewhat the idea that Wine is a catalyst to enable a global shift from Windows to Linux.
