AutoCAD, please
I spend a lot of time trying to get autocad (2004) to run on Wine. There where some small problems like registry things and with Internet Explorer dependencies, but those where easy to solve. The big problem is that the copy protection (and the anti-debugging tricks in it) run as a couple of windows drivers and do things that are far from "normal" in Windows. It is also very picky about almost everything, and does not generate any timely or useful error messages. (it just exits at the very end, without any clue about what went wrong.) Without the copy protection I'm sure autocad would run just fine with Wine. Newer autocad versions use .NET as well, which could be more complicated. (And no, "p2p" versions still have all the copy protection and anti-debugging tricks. )
Personally (as a programmer), I think my time would be better spend on many of the open-source CAD programs. (Or ask rhino3d very nicely if they want to make a Linux version. please. :-)
jaap.
