Hi,
I am just back to using WINE after several years. Linux has come a long way since then as has WINE. Because of my work I use several different computers during a week and therefore have compiled all of my windows friendly apps into portables several of which are not availible for linux.
Is there currently a way to use my portables (on the thumbdrive) via wine? I would be totally MS free were it not for work.
Thanks
John
