Ask Jeremy White and Alexandre Julliard About the Future of WINE

Last week, after 15 years of development, tempered by the need for arduous reverse engineering, the WINE project released version 1.0. What "1.0" means for WINE is neither that the project is finished, nor that it is perfect, but rather that the software runs a small subset of specific freely downloadable Windows applications. That's not to say it doesn't run scads of others, too -- the apps database is proof that thousands of programs run to at least some degree. Here's your chance to ask WINE developer Jeremy White and WINE project lead Alexandre Julliard (both of Codeweavers) about the future of WINE, or any other questions about the project that cross your mind. The usual Slashdot interview rules apply; please ask as many questions as you'd like, but limit yourself to one question per post. We'll pass on the best questions to Jeremy and Alexandre for their answers.

I found that pretty funny, if trollish.

Seriously, though: how come whenever someone talks about windows sucking (not up for debate) there's a li'l posse of gamers saying "waah, WoW etc. reet rah"?

Go buy windows and all its acoutrements if your games are that big a deal to you. Most people use their computers for work and when they're done with work they go and do something that doesn't involve computers.
