I am using FreeBSD 10.3 x64. I understand that to run Windows applications on that configuration I can use only one of the following: 1. playonbsd-4.2.10_1 2. wine-staging-2.0.r3_1,1 3. i386-wine-staging-2.0.r3_1,1 4. wine-devel-2.0.r3_1,1 5. i386-wine-devel-2.0.r3_1,1 6. wine-1.8.6,1 7. i386-wine-1.8.6,1 Currently I have installed playonbsd, which is good but it seems that not all applications I would like to install can be installed on it. Which one of those options would give me the most compatibility with office-type and multimedia applications (e.g. DVD player, SoftPhone, applications that access USB), not necessarily games? Should I prefer some of these ports over others for my x64 system? When switching from one port to another (e.g. wine to playonbsd) can I keep the currently installed Windows applications or I would need to reinstall any of the applications/libraries installed on the previous version? It seems that front-end ports (q4wine, swine) default to 4. from the list (wine-devel-2.0.r3_1,1). Is there any reason for that? Can they run without problems on a x64 system? Many thanks for any insights. Greg
