WINE: A New Place for KLEZ to Play?
An anonymous submitter sends in this cautionary tale about Wine being maybe a little too good at emulating Windows. Update: 10/23 21:05 GMT by M : Better links: mirror 1, mirror 2.

Only the things you don't use or want work well with Wine.
I know alot of software developers are anal retentive perfectionists, but this is going a little too far. What's next? EULA emulation?

After seven posts!!?? Criminy people? how am I supposed to learn how windows sucks if you keep making IIS explode!?
The server is apparently running IIS under Wine.

I'm glad you clarified that. I was having trouble understanding what that guy said until you showed up.
Hi folks!
The new version of WINE is available! It costs a mere $450 per seat, and after an extensive rewrite of the Windows ABI emulation exports NO functionality whatsoever!
BTW for optimum emulation, we recommend running WINE at nice -20.
COMING SOON - WINE SP1.
The all-new WINE Service Pack removes the ability to run MS-DOS programs, and stops you viewing any digital broadcast medium. This is to enhance your computing experience.
All of the advantages, none of the . . . oops.

What does it say about the plural for "anal retentive"?

Well, I haven't seen the article, cause it's been slashdotted, but to all that talk about wine virii execution - look at this (the author of the screenshot is C-Pro).
Besides, I mean, just as with any other tool, you need caution. If you run wine as root with the whole tree as e: then sooner or later you're gonna regret it. The level achieved by wine emulation is amazing, so there are going to be security flaws if you don't know what you are doing, just as with any product with functionality as extensive as wine's

Well, for one, anal-retentive is hyphenated...

Run IIS next time so we can blame Microsoft. We dont like to see Linux servers go down for the same reason.
I've got a 5-gallon carboy in the closet with 12-day old merlot in secondary fermenation. It took me two bloody hours to santize all of my siphoning gear just to make sure i wouldn't skunk on me . . . and now you're saying I have to worry about KLEZ in my wine??
Christ, this homebrew thing just isn't worth it.

What's the point of using acronyms when you have to type out the whole phrase anyways?

nice calculations, to bad your logic was wrong, because you would be an idiot to do that in php, you would do it with mod_rewrite.
