Hello Alexandre, Is your group affiliated with "CodeWeavers"? They claim to have a "wine" product called Crossover Mac that will have a final release soon.
If you are not the same group, what are the differences? Thanks, Roland Schama

From Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Codeweavers):
CodeWeavers is a company that sells a proprietary version of Wine called CrossOver Office, for running Windows applications on Linux. The company was founded in 1996 as a consultancy, eventually moving entirely over to Wine support. Crossover is regularly rebased to new Wine snapshots, and patches that the company's employees write are sent back to the project almost immediately
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wine_(software) has more information as well.
And this page: http://www.codeweavers.com/products/cxmac/truth_in_advertising/the_real_dirt... pretty much defines the differences between Wine and Crossover.

Hi Roland, I'm not Alexandre, but I can answer that. Technically yes we are affiliated with them in the sense that several of the developers are employed by codeweavers, and we do share code. However, codeweavers makes highly specialized products that are targeted at specific needs (crossover mac being one of them) based on the main wine distribution. For example, the crossover office product is based on wine, but it is designed to let you run microsoft office, whereas the main wine distribution is currently unable to do that.

And it should also be said that Wine is the "clean" tree (Alexandre doesn't let any half-assed code in), while Crossover uses an "expedient" tree (with a fair amount of code that really isn't right, but happens to make a few key apps like MS Office work).
It's a good division, actually, with lots of cross-pollination. The two trees are kept well in sync. - Dan
