Hi,

http://www.selfadhesivelabels.com/blog/2007/03/20/windos-software-that-we-do...

This is a response from a user.
Can any one order and test sage 50 line business s/w.
And other s/w.
Dan, you can redirect them to appdb.

Thanks,
VJ

To a question by me, I might add :-)

Already done via private email.  Here's what I wrote:

Sage Line 50 already has a bug filed:
http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2956
but we're hampered because there's no free demo for us to test.

I filed bugs for the two little apps,
http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7803
http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7804
and will test more of the apps later.

Photoshop will probably be in good shape in six
months.  Illustrator is further off; see
http://appdb.winehq.org/appview.php?iAppId=20

I guess I should have made that a blog comment.  Oh, well.

I have added his migration project as a row in

D'oh.  Missed that.  Yeah, I'll register for one, thanks.  Unless
someone else would like to take the lead on testing it...

Interesting that they say that about SAGE software considering  Peachtree
Accounting 2006 works in some respects (installs and basic operations work,
some other things cause crashes).  I wouldn't say it would NEVER work.  I
guess it's not the same program series but I'm optimistic.

A list of what does and doesn't work is here:
http://appdb.winehq.org/appview.php?iVersionId=6037

I guess when I have some time I'll try and and log some bugs on it.

Sadly, only UK residents can get the free trial.  Can someone
in the UK get a copy and send it to me (and/or test themselves)?
Thanks,

I've ordered a trial CD of everything they're offering.
