Have you ever tried to get software manufacturers to test their own Wine compliance ? Of course a Microsoft would have no interest in doing so (quite the contrary), but a bus company that wants to reach as many people as possible with one electronic bus schedule CD might.
That's the first I hear about somebody actually trying to be wine compliant. Asking for wine compliant products in markets in which producing separate windows and linux versions is not an economically sound option would be an excellent path to linux acceptance. Electronic train schedules and such stuff would be a good niche to focus on. "Runs on Windows 95, 98, 2000, XP and Wine."
