Vamman writes "If you've been following the drama surrounding the free release of MechWarrior4, then you're probably aware that the initial announcement, made last summer, was a bit premature. Now, nearly a year since that announcement was made, MekTek Studios has announced that Microsoft Legal has given clearance for the free release of Mechwarrior4. This move by Microsoft Games couldn't come at a better time for the community, as the owners of MechWarrior are attempting a reboot of the franchise."

The article says even though MS Project runs only on Windows.
Actually I think you all will find that MS Project does run under Codeweaver's WINE, see MS Project is there on the list. It's got a Bronze on the Supported Applications list too, up there with Outlook XP which also has a Bronze (and that runs very smoothly on my PC).
The author also writes With this, I can have my "must-have" programs: MS Project and Visio.
Well, with Crossover you can have both Visio 2000 and Project. The question is, which one would you spend money on, $89.99 for Win4Lin (slower) or $39.95 for Crossover (faster).
