Wine Is Not an Emulator

For simple apps it's fine, the more complicated you go the harder it gets. Office 2003+ is largely a non starter to get the whole thing going. A lot of games work surprisingly well though.

Re: the dual monitor stuff, Hardy (scheduled for release this month) has a new screen manager which should greatly simplify that. I'd try it myself but I'm affected by a bug in the kernel which stops the installer booting on my main rig. They've fixed it now, so hopefully I'll get to install RC1 on it.
