    Well, if you don't code to standards, that's what you get. I don't feel sorry for them.

    Dutch windmills or not that high. I think modern electricity windmills are more along the flightpaths of windmills.

  12. Re:If you want to help: on Wine 1.0-rc2 Released · · Score: 1

    True, but I normally go directly to the data pages. But you have a point. The next time an article about Wine appears I'll change the link to the one that is always correct.

    By the way, the conformance is going A OK. They are a huge success and the number of reports is 5 times the usual. Thanks for the help, /.

  13. Re:If you want to help: on Wine 1.0-rc2 Released · · Score: 2, Informative

    Look at http://www.astro.gla.ac.uk/users/paulm/WRT/CrossBuilt/. See the the exe at the bottom. That's the latest one and the one I have linked to. Also, if you sort http://test.winehq.org/data/ to the "last modified" parameter, this one ends on top. Conclusive proof I reckon.

  14. Re:If you want to help: on Wine 1.0-rc2 Released · · Score: 1

    Works fine, you don't seem to have an exceptional amount of errors or anything of that nature. I guess that means that virtual boxes allow conformance tests just fine. Thanks for trying :)

    Now, all we need is a breakthrough with plastic sharks.

  16. Re:If you want to help: on Wine 1.0-rc2 Released · · Score: 1

    I'm afraid you can't. At the end of the test, the program asks you if you want to submit the test data. Before that nothing happens unless you click abort and then send the results I believe.

  17. Re:If you want to help: on Wine 1.0-rc2 Released · · Score: 1

    To tell you the truth, I have no idea whatsoever. My personal guess is, that since it's a working XP installation it ought to work. If you try it anyway and it works I would like to hear the results.

  18. If you want to help: on Wine 1.0-rc2 Released · · Score: 5, Informative

    If you have a Windows installation

    Go to this page : http://test.winehq.org/data/3c1c6172779510a7ed693d922fb3061948999ea1/

    Click on the big alphanumerical hyperlink and download the exe.

    Give an alias and run it.

    This will do conformance tests on your computer and it is very important to the wine project.

    Don't try to do anything usefull while testing since it will do a wide range of things including directX tests which will make your screen display colorfields.

    If you get errors or crashes, just click on OK or close. This is part of the testing. I'm sure the people working on the wine project will be very happy with it.
