By the way, AutoCAD and 3ds max are very popular applications. It's easy to
check how they are popular by using Google. For example, for AutoCAD alone
you will get 43,800,000 results [1]. So there is a really a lot of people who depends on Autodesk products such as AutoCAD.
So I think it's about time to get .Net 2.0 support into wine. Actually all the info is there in bugzilla to get a lot of .net applications running . I know .net support is not a target of wine-1.0.0, but why not reconsider? I got 3dmax 9 somehow running, but it seems to suffer from opengl bug; AutoCad 2008 only made it into the main screeen,then threw up a messagebox about a fatal error. So if someone could pick this up , and fix the remaining .net issues, i think wine could get another boost...........
