Stargrave hates Wine.....
Hello Stargrave,
Another down vote :) You must hate Wine you even vote the free open source version down. what I find interesting is when I voted a couple of your post down my rank went from #6 to #16 over night... :D
Oh well, life goes on right? But one would think you guys here would be glad I post Wine news here for your readers... Maybe I should just move on and not post any more Wine news articles here?
Please tell me what you want...
Cheers,
Tom

Yes, I hate it
I agreed that wine is open source and free software. But I also think that Wine is always used to run proprietary programs. I am sure that it is used only for that. Wine slows down rate of user's conversion to free software. I do not think that we should have some kind of temporary bridge between free software and proprietary one.
The same thing is with Mono. By license, by source code, by copyright -- it is open source too. But many people think that it should die because of possible patents traps.
I do not have anything against personally you. Believe me. It is just my own personal opinion: free software community should not promote even temporary bridges (as Wine) between free and proprietary software.
As I can see, I am not the only one here. If someone think that Wine-related posts should be on FSDaily, then he can always vote up articles. If someone think oppisite -- he votes down.
Well, again, I have nothing against you. Maybe I am too rude with my decisions. Well, not to lower you rating (I do not know how it is calculated) I agree not to vote down Wine-related posts. Maybe I am too strict. It does not mean that Crossover is related to Wine. Anyway Crossover is proprietary software. But, agreed, Wine is free software. So, ok, I can be not so strict in my thoughts about it's aims.

I don't like Wine either
It's not by coincidence rms decided to start the GNU project by writing an operating system. He thought there was no sense in running free applications on a non-free operating system. Wine allows one to run non-free applications on a free operating system. I don't think that is any better.
