Praise of sorts for Wine re Softmaker Office 2008

[Dan Kegel]

http://forum.ubuntuusers.de/topic/softmaker-office-2008--eine-alternative--v...
has a review of an office suite named Softmaker Office 2008,
available for Windows and now also Linux.  The review says in part

"Irritiert hat uns, daß die Windows-Version von Office 2008, die
von Stick gestartet werden kann, unter Wine besser, schneller
und stabiler läuft, wie die native Office 2008 für Linux. Wer also
die Windows-Version legal erworben hat, kann hier Geld sparen."

("It irritated us that the Windows version runs better on Wine
than the native Linux version.  If you have the Windows version
already, save your money and run it on Wine.")

That's praise of sorts... although I hope it doesn't
dissuade other vendors from doing native ports.
