The team has discovered some issues that are specific to WINE, i.e. these issues do not affect Windows. Since WINE was not the original environment intended for Cameyo and Cameyo's core users are on Windows, development and support for WINE will pause until certain goals are met for Cameyo on the systems for which Cameyo was created. At that point, there will be time to work out the WINE-specific issues.
If you guys got it running (and did support it), that would be amazing. It would take out so many of the headaches for wine and those of us who do not want to run full VM's.
Making Cameyo-Apps compatible with Wine would be a major Milestone!
That's because there is currently Nobody on the market to offer painless execution for Windows applications under Linux. Even if Linux is not your primary focus, i don't know if you guys get the full picture.
There are literally millions of users and even thousands of enterprises that would switch to Linux immediately, if there wasn't those few rare Windows Applications they can't replace but also can't afford to loose. Thus, making Windows Applications run flawlessly under Linux would undoubtedly be a huge commercial success. In the long run, it could trigger the breakthrough of the Linux-OS on the enterprise Desktop.
I would agree with this 100%. Finding a way to provide thin clients a desktop environment that can run windows app without the need for Microsoft outrageous licensing would be gold. Cameyo is part way there, can run the app via html5, but it's not a fully integrated solutions that enterprise customers need.
Just a quick update. I tested 7zip and Picasa using Playonlinux frontend for WINE using the default install, which works great. Others like Skype failed with errors, the same type of errors I see when trying to install Skype using the native installer.
