I'm very interested in latest ultimate versions of:
- Electronics software: Ultiboard & Multisim, Altium Designer, Cadence Allegro & Friends, Solidworks PCB, DipTrace, OrCAD, PCB123, MentorPCB, TINA, Proteus...
- Latest CAD and 3D software.
- Latest Microsoft Office.

Can anybody test them on latest Wine, Wine Staging, Codeweavers and such?

That's an expensive and long list of software. How exactly can you expect (or hope for) someone to have them and test them extensively... I have no clue. Maybe someone in a university has some of those. But considering the price, I wouldn't be surprised if they had online activation mechanisms and maybe an activation count that people wouldn't want to mess with.

OK, $14,000 USD; half down, remainder upon completion.

He, he, Ultimate and Latest is hardest to support, as any of these apps or whatever else apps on latest & "greatest" might break anytime

That's the reason the software is interesting to test: To uncover bugs in newest and more complex software and raise the Windows compatibility bar.

I just found this...

EDA/Measurement section: https://appdb.winehq.org/objectManag...e+Applications

CAD/CAE section: https://appdb.winehq.org/objectManag...e+Applications

That's why I ask publicly about it: Maybe some people have access to one of them.

I plan to ask on electronics forums, but most of them just rely on Microsoft operating systems and aren't Linux savvy enough to submit good bug reports.

I consider to be an extremely good thing to make Wine be compatible with the most complex, twisted and extreme forms of DRM.

Ask CodeWeavers and IBM, I heard they have plenty of money

Sadly, the current Altium designer does not work under any versions of Wine. Strangely, it did worked in the past.

Tina8 and LTSpice works with wine. (I'm using wine 4.14)
Instead of the extremely expensive electrical cad software like AD or Mentor, Eagle has a native Linux port, that works fine. It's very good for hobby projects.

Dude, STFU. I need money.
