   Lucky you, it's mostly hit and miss for me. I feel lucky if I manage to    
   install a Win program that actually runs without much trouble.   
      
   Happy to say that for me, Xnews is one such proggie :)   
      
   Don't know if you've noticed with Wine, if you have a Windows .exe (an    
   installer program is a good example), right clicking it pops up a menu    
   asking if you want to run it in Wine. That's a nice feature.
