    I was always under the impression that WINE, based on how it is designed, would never be finished, or even close to a finished release point. I mean, yeah, I know 1.0 doesn't mean it's done, just that it hit a specific milestone, but even so, WINE, being considered a ⥠1.0 version seems to me like it shouldn't happen until it can at least come close to running most everything thrown at it.

    Just my non-developer, non-programer, former WINE-user $.02.

    but you can run cygwin to get a linux-like environment ;) Some people have used Wine and Cygwin as test cases for each other.
