I have been using Mandrake 8 with Wine release 20010418 at my place of work and now longer need to boot windows. It has been excellent. I read design specs sent to me as word documents with now problems (unlike file converts that don't always work). And can watch VOD feeds for training (downloading first as media player does not seem to like it when they are streamed) My only problem is that I can't save word documents, I get word complaining that the disk is write protected and if I try again I get it complaining that it is out of memory. Is this a known problem? Where do I check to see if my wine config has write protected my drives? can this problem be solved? it would be my final hurdle in never having to boot windows again. thanks Nick
