I use Photoshop CS4 daily in Wine and have gotten it to run about 99% of perfect, and have gotten Dreamweaver CS4 to run also (although a regression error is apparently preventing that currently). Of course, native versions of both would of course be welcome! Unfortunately they're the only Creative Suite apps I can get to work. Flash and Illustrator are next on my wish list.
