The zip file of the conversation contains a Windows executable. Linux people (like me) would say there's a problem there :). Is there any way to get it in a different format?<br/><br/>On a different (and more serious) note, how do we decide who's problem it is? I guess I could install WINE and try to make it work. But what happens if it doesn't? So far, I can think of ways to blame it on WINE, me, you, and possibly Microsoft. With so many people to blame, how do we decide who should fix it?

James has a talent for making people think beyond their intuition.<br/><br/>The pass/fail criteria that we testers are given will never cover everything that might be a problem. This reminds me that as we test we should not only question the software, but also question those that can answer the question "Is there a problem here?". Great conversation.
