[cw-discuss] Crossover Games?

[John Wheaton]

I see cxgames as a chance to try moving into newer versions of things like
WINE without jeopardizing the stability of the office/productivity product
(cxoffice).  This could ultimately benefit cxoffice because cxgames will
pioneer smoothing out the integration of newer 3rd-party components.

There is some specific attention that is needed to get news MSFT products
working, but some of that is dependent upon WINE, unless I am grossly
mistaken.
