is a good example why Ballmer should fear OSS. With M$'s push for.NET, the "OS for the internet", it still faces competition from J2EE and perhaps Mono. Windows is still the thing M$ uses to whip the software world to submission. Software incompatibility (between Windows and Linux) is, I believe, the only stumbling block that keeps corporations from adopting Linux. With technical difficulties aside, IF Wine manage to implement more than 80% of the Win32 API then bibi Windoze.
Go Wine! embrace, extend and extinguish!
