Re: Wine 7.0
#2I love to see these updates. Wine has been so useful here that I started buying some old Windows games from Gog even though they don't specify Linux compatibility. I also went back to a vendor I used to use for Windows software and bought their latest version once I found it worked perfectly for my purposes in Wine. So, huge thanks to the Wine developers.
Also, somebody has packaged Wine for Haiku OS, and it runs inside of virtualized Debian so that users can play with Windows apps. I thought that was a pretty neat idea.

#3I recently used Wine to run Office 97 on Debian, just for old time's sake.
I ended up liking it so much that I now use it for my word processing and spreadsheet tasks. This classic version is feature complete to me. Wine ensures it lives on, long past its support date and on an alien operating system.
And clippit says hello!

It shows Word 97 on Linux editing a lengthy docx converted by LibreOffice. Images, text boxes and arrows all came back to 1997 unscathed.

How well does it run?
Re: Wine 7.0
#5I use Wine for one thing: running MusicBee. It's a pain in the ass to get it working 100%. Every time I've tried to upgrade past wine 4.x it completely breaks my MusicBee wine prefix, so I've locked the version and will never upgrade. Ultimate goal is to wait until any native Linux music player is even 10% as good as MusicBee.

So interesting… does it work well with modern word documents? I don’t expect it to run docx but somehow I think it might be better than open office in some aspects

#7Wow, an incredible amount of work/updates in this version. So glad to see a project like this continue moving forward in significant ways and I hope that these improvements bode well for things like Proton

What modern MS Office features are missing from '97 but still useful?
I'm thinking you won't be able to write formulas using Latex. There's also a 32-bit limit for the amount of memory a program can use.
Re: Wine 7.0
#9I'm hoping that I'm correctly interpreting the WoW64 portion of the notes as meaning that I could run a 32-bit x86 Windows binary using the 64-bit Wine on ARM. I don't have a common need for this but I've had a couple of cases where I needed to test compatibility with something ancient and it would have been great to be able to install something in my development environment. In one of the cases, it was a 64-bit executable with a 32-bit installer so the actual program worked as long as you could copy a previous install.

Same, but with Office 2007. I'm getting ready to upgrade to Office 2010 mostly for 64 bit support. Any suggestion to run it best on wine64?
Alternatively, how to migrate an old wine32 bottle to wine7 amd64?
