Are you referring to Wine's target audience?
IMHO, the target audience is Linux, BSD, Solaris, Windows and soon Mac use
As I see it, Firefox links to CX because CX enhances Firefox - it allows
FF to run plugins that it could not otherwise run.
*IF* Firefox enhanced Wine - by providing an MSHTML-compatible object,
for example - then it would make sense to provide a link, as then FF
would enhance Wine.

Wine isn't "marketable" , it's free.
I dont see anything "appealing" about running IE on Wine either, I have
several excellent browsers which run Native . btw FF is not one of them.
For me IE6 is more useful for quickly installing other software that
"requires IE" rather than spending days
I think the bottom line is this:
* Even though many of us are huge Firefox fans (me
included), promoting only Firefox on the Wine home
page is counter-productive simply because one of the
appealing (and marketable) aspects of Wine is that it
can run I.E. ;)
I think the Wine sites are perhaps the

Wine uses an Mozilla ActiveX in shdocvw, and Jacek is using Gecko in

In another side, the user of Wine, is using Linux and Firefox or another

I've been following your discussion about putting a Get Firefox button
on the WineHQ front page. While I'm a big fan of Firefox, I think that
we should advocate the more generic W3C standards instead, and use XHTML
that is valid against those. That way, we can support pretty much a
