I assumed that Stephen was joking because the codeweavers package 
has continued to be just about the worst piece of software I've ever 
tried since I started using Linux. The last time I tried it (about 
two years ago), they were ever censoring user posts to the forum 
more because the complaints were so vicious. I can't imagine this 
software ever having won any kind of award at all.
