> no linux users?

Exactly. My girlfriend is only a Linux user because I was able
to get IKEA kitchen planner, Head shoulders knees and toes (teletubbies)
and the dutch Tax program to run on Wine.

See? It's not about Oracle. These programs will not get ported,
not in the near term, and they are the only ones that my girlfriend
needs besides what's there natively.

She *is* a Linux user (no Windows license needed), so in the end
she may actually be a reason for IKEA to decide to port their apps
to Linux natively.

Didn't Dutch tax office release a Linux version of their software for 2005? I thought I saw it at their website...

How did you get IKEA Kitchen Planner to work with wine?

I am using IKEA KP version 2007 and wine 0.9.17 and it installs but won't run.
