Default Wine (again)

Out of interest is there a Windows program that you have managed to get working in Wine or Cross Weavers, to save that re-boot into the OS that we all dislike?

My latest conquest is Winamp which I really prefer over the usual Linux progs.

How long before someone says they've managed to get Win 7 working in Wine!

I've got an Organiser application (Digita Organiser), I obtained it from Digita around 1990. It was so well written that it has worked on all versions of Windows, and Unbuntu (in Wine), I suspect that it contains it's own lib files so does not need to rely on MS. It doesn't need installing, it just works.
