The making of Wine (Network World)

I have been playing with both Crossover trial versions and the Free Software Wine recently.
In 2000 Wine was complete enough to run Half Life.  Wine certainly is impressive software,
however it can be daunting for newcomers.  Crossover cleans up much of what's bothersome about
Wine, like the interface, though I wonder if Crossover will always be kept as the polished
version.
