Hi,

Time for me to get into trouble again :)

This guy ask if we could help him to get a win
app that he uses "Netmeeting" in this case to work with
the vine "wine" but instead of help he got use this... as its native to 
linux!

People........ Wine is for Win apps!! I know there are many native apps 
that will
replace win apps, fulfill your needs but...... WTF is this project 
about??????? running win apps on linux??
Not you should use this or that app in its place, but you should use 
what your
comfortable with.. what you spent your hard earned money on.. *.* app
Ive for one have used mIRC since there 1.0 days..... anyone here 
remember when that was?
but im sure there are people who would say XChat is better.. but guess 
what ......
I dont give a shit!!!!!!!!!!!!  I want to use what I like, what im use 
to, what i spent my $20.00 on...

Wine is not to suggest native linux apps to its users, but to build
a app so WIN users can see what a real OS is,  and at the same time use 
what there use to, what they have spent
there hard earned &@#$@#%#@= (GD-F&ck^ing) money on. And if they 
find/run across a native app that
fills there needs then they can make the switch on there own good 
time!!!!!!! Not use this as its better..
as there going to think it sucks at first anyway.......

I remimber the days when people ask if Linux would really make a dent as 
a server OS.. If it would come and go,..
now we all know Linux is great as a server OS .. its for the most part 
the #1 OS when it comes to servers..

The Question now is will Linux be the next DeskTop OS of choice??
I believe it will be,  as native apps close one side of the gap and WINE 
closes
the other side.. Its all just a matter of time....... So if your a 
developer, user, lurker don't cut our end short
Wine has a role to play in all this.......Remember boys and girls this 
is our soap opera, ..... the OS wars..
But guess what the OS war is over as we have won,  now its down to the 
apps/desktop..... So if Joe Blow
wants to use his native app we should say great here is the fix,, ill 
look,, ill try,, as we know he is using
unix/wine and in the end after they, him , her,  learn about OSS........ 
they will never look back!

So to sum this rant up.....

In the future dont say use what I use, but help them use what there use 
to and Wine will fulfill
its goal.......

Just my $.02

Not only that, but I'm somehow dragging myself too. Your'e good :-)

Well, I guess making a new app work on Wine is a non-trivial task, and 
so people prefer to focus their efforts where the app is truely needed - 
i.e., where no native free software alternative is available. This does 
not mean that David can't hack wine to make NetMeeting work himself, or 
that Alexandre won't commit it. It just means that I, for one, have 
little incentive to jump in at the moment. Once Jérôme pointed (me) to 
GnomeMeeting (how did they skip the chance to call it Gnomeeting??), 
it's not my itch any more.

Certanly for some people. I know that's a lot of what it is to me, in 
any case. Without trying to claim that ReactOS guys are not doing a 
wonderful job, I'm still after using Linux (or any other free OS, I 
don't care that much) for as much of my day2day activities as possible. 
Wine is one of the tools to do that.

But what about the not-yet-spent money? Will it be cheaper to learn a 
new app, or to support NetMeeting? Remeber, that app is integrated into 
the Windows OS in levels I don't think even IE can rival.

I know that I found Jérôme's post useful. One may adopt a more "FYI" 
tone in the future.

I can speak only for myself. I won't invest huge amounts of time in 
helping someone else use an application *he* is used to, while I have 
perfectly acceptable (to me) alternatives.

If he'd be paying me - that's something else. If he'd come with specific 
questions - that's something else too.

You have missed the point ....

Lets say he is new to Linux/wine and he does not know how to send a good bug
report or how to ask how to get this or that to work...
Then what? Be a ass in return? I say not!......

I have just seen the future folks..
Wine will be like MPLAYER in the future.. RTFM and in not
taling about the fine manual here.

Well, we could also have said (and with reasons) 'This is a developper
mailing list - send your support request to wine-users / raise a bug on
BugZilla / post on cemw / come on #WineHQ on FreeNode'.

Imagine the nightmare if all the people asking for Kazaa / HalfLife /
CounterStrike support on #WineHQ started sending mails to this list ?

Note that I agree that Wine seriously lacks efficient supports channels, but
wine-devel is certainly not a support channel (or at least not for such
plain 'Does app X work on Wine ?' requests - on the other hand, any question
where the guy enters sufficiently into details of his debugging and ask
detailed questions is welcome here).

Maybe we should have these working and avoid the questions altogether <g>

I just tried to help someone which has to use under Linux a H.323
solution NOW.

I don't think Wine will be able to run NetMeeting in a few weeks, nor in
a few months.

If I would not advise him this alternative, the only choice this
NetMeeting user had was to through away Linux and come back to Windows.

I understand that you feel very concerned by wine success and I excuse
me if you were irritated. It was not my goal.

As a conclusion, I would say that if you invest as many energy in the
Wine development as you did in this flame mail, I think Wine could be
use widely soon. I would be happy.
