Great to hear.  I am so sick of dual booting with win98 to play blizzard 
games and shadowbane.  Today windows won't even boot, I tried  at least 
10 times, did 2 scandiskes in safe mode, and the install is only used 
for games and is 2-3 months old!  As soon as I have time I plan on 
getting wine and updating to 5.2.  I am going to be so happen when I no 
longer need to dual boot.
You may want to install winex next to wine.  Winex is a customed 
tailered version for windows games. For more info check transgaming.com
