Yeah I would like to pay for things like AutoCAD to run on Linux. This is a software that I consider worthy to pay for. Things like Mathematica or Maple and things like these on Linux are worthy too. Simply because there are no better replacement on Linux. At least I haven't seen any. But codeweavers plugin, NO WAY! Firstly because it's a plain excuse for running MS products (mainly MS Office!) which I do not like in the first place. Let's face it, people buy this plugin so that they can use MS Word and Powerpoint! There are better software out there like I mentionned earlier. Man if somebody can't get rid of Microsoft, then use Windows. Dont use Linux and fool try to fool everybody with your MS office programs running on a Windows emulator!
