Are you FAQ'in me? This is #1 bug/support mistake not seen since DOS.
I don't have time for reading, I'm a former windows user - not to mention I've got a business to run.
That said I got past the initial bug reported i.e. Office 2003 doesn't install. Plus I did it without a terminal output which is eerily similar to DOS command prompts.
I now open Outlook where everything is fine, except I get a Word error that I don't have enough memory to use it. To reiterate I open Outlook and get a Word memory error. I have 2Gb of RAM.
So I open Word and so far it seems to work.
I open Excel and and Powerpoint, where both seem to hang - like a bad date. At least with the blue screen of death, I knew that I was dead.
Oh and another thing, I installed Maxtor software. Why? Well of course Linux can't read my OneTouch USB external storage - where I backed up all my previous Windows world files. Imagine it installs but stalls at the end of course around the services area it seems.
Therefore I challenge Wine project members - IF you are seeking to bridge the conversion of former Windows users to the Linux - THEN feel free to convert me. Linux and Wine promises have put my business in a tough position.
Again I welcome positive, constructive and useful bug support. Wine is 'no question' a buggy application to date.
Good luck otherwise
