Codeweaver installation and opera

[Joel Hammer]

Yeah. I tried on two different computers, and got the same hang with
quicktime. I cancelled each out and then quicktime ran, even worked a bit,
but is VERY buggy and essentially useless.
Well, this must be them, not me, since two different machines had the
identical problem. I wonder if the problem is that the installer loads
quicktime 6 whereas codeweaver talks about quicktime 5.
Why am I not enthused about wine? Do they really think many people are going
to pay for this sort of buggy software (codeweaver)? I have decided that, if win4lin
can't do it for you (win4lin actually works), it is really easier and, if
your time is worth anything, cheaper, to just run a second computer with
windows side by side with your linux box and use a switch box.  That way you
can have any windows functionality you want without bending your linux box
to do things it just ain't designed for.
Geez.
