Hello All,
I have been watching Wine grow over a period of time and it looks like things are getting better each time that I visit the site.
Let me first say "GREAT JOB" to all of the developers on the project.
I am wondering a few things and hope someone could take a stab at answering these for me.
1.) Is wine thread save and can I run many instances without problems? Also, can multiple users be running multiple instances without major degrades in system performance for each instance?
2.) What is the main differences between the WineX and Wine developments? Which is more stable?
Thanks in advance, Lonnie.

Yes. Your wine processes will belong to the same virtual Windows by default.
Also, can multiple users be running multiple instances without major degrades in system performance for each instance?
Yes. Different users' wine processes are separated.

I think we may need to put a page at winehq.org for this since it is a FAQ, shortly wine project are:
wine - the open source thats the base for all, still developed normally with support from codewavers mostly
crossover - Codewavers commercial version of wine includes some more user friendliness and support, and some hacks that run specific programs
winex - Commercial wine version sold by subscription bases, developing wine to run games, and has copy write protection modules, meaning run games from protected cds
darwin - wine for mac, based of main wine
rewind - a project with a very open license that trys to be the base of exchange for all (not sure if someone still maintains it)
Stability? usually you will want a commercial version so you will have support so either crossover or winex, depends if you need programs or games
