Doesn't it help that the EU is comprised of a number of member states with different laws and competing interests so that one country's darling is another country's nemesis? According to this article, there are lobbyists in the EU, so it is not clear to me how MEPs could not be "bought". Anyone from the EU know how lobbying in the EU differs from lobbying in the U.S.?
Umm, correct me if I'm wrong but X-wing vs. Tie Fighter was a 9x game (although my understanding is that Windows 95 was implemented with DOS system calls as a subset). Dosbox does implement a 386 emulator but not Windows 95/98 system calls to my knowledge including DirectX that later versions of XvT used. You may be interested in the wine page for XvT (http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=application&iId=8156). P.S. You might need the D3D patch for XvT which also came with the Balance of Power campaign for Wine to work.
Whether Shatner plays Kirk at any point in the story is less relevant than what the average age of the cast is. In the U.S. at least, a lot of movies and TV shows like to depict young, sexy, vibrant people. TV and movie producers do not want to show the downsides of aging, in addition to the upsides, or to show that old people can still be a vital part of our society, especially as people live longer (on average). As I recall, Star Trek II did a pretty good job dealing with the fact that the cast was not young any more. It would be interesting if the cast was more elderly, but that's not going to happen.

A lot. That's why there are different requirements for avionics than consumer electronics.
