Just so you understand how this works - we are working very hard on
Photoshop CS/2/3.  Note that they've always worked fairly well, with
the exception of their @#$@#$ copy protection code, and that is the
very hard nut we are trying to crack.

Further, *all* of that work is going into public Wine *first*.
That's how we work.  So Wine will run Photoshop CS3 before CrossOver
(it's oooo so close right now).

Now, CrossOver will do it reliably and in a stable fashion.

Further, you can choose to just always use Wine, or you can choose to pay
for CrossOver, and thus support our work.  How much work we are able
to do is *directly* governed by how much support we get.

So, if you want Wine to run Photoshop...

Cheers,

Jeremy
