I've been really looking at wine for the last couple of months or so. Last little bit I've been helping by doing some testing and filing bug reports. I must say the developers of this project have done an amazing job. Its increadible how close you all are. If you can at least get code associated with making install shield based installers and other installers work flawlessly in the next little while this project will set the being a major thorn in Microsofts side when they bring out Vista.
