Anyone here care to speculate on what Wine on the future Apple x86 will bring to that platform gloom or doom ? The reason why I ask is, while reading the article "Game Developers React To Intel Switch" Wine in mentioned twice once by "Glenda Adams - Aspyr Media"
"Tech Support is one big issue that crops up with emulators as well. If you are playing Sims 2 under some wine-like emulator on OS X Intel, will EA answer you call/email if you have problems? Or will they say its not a supported config?"
And at the end of this article there is a Anonymous Developer and here is the quote.
"Anonymous Developer: it all depends on WINE and the ability to run PC games on the Mac. it could cut the heart out of the Mac game business."

Not that I'm bothered by the quote, but we've had "anonymous developers" comment on the Wine project before that turned out to not even be developers at all. If you're a journalist reading this, please remember to do some sort of research - you could have easily pulled a much more impressive and supported quote from me.
Thanks, Scott Ritchie
