To use the help option, I had to have a Windows web browser installed, and give its full path when prompted (or enter it in Options). The qgis_help program displayed a blank page, not sure what it's supposed to do. I had to unzip the alaska data myself, is that supposed to be automatic? And I couldn't find any sample project; I did load the alaska shape file ok. I just tried qgis-0.8 under vanilla wine-0.9.27
