The other week I received a little program from a friend. I tried to
run it in Wine.
It didn't work at all. It was a dotNET - compiled EXE.

What error did you get from Wine? We should patch it to inform users
that this is the case, and that they can use Mono to try and run it.
wine aaa.exe
err:module:import_dll Module (file) mscoree.dll (which is needed
by F:\tmp\aaa.exe) not found
err:process:start_process Main exe initialization failed
At some point of course we're going to have to go the whole way and
ully integrate Wine and Mono.
Today, there are over 76,000 Win32 APIs, and countless wrappers. With
Longhorn, Microsoft hopes to reduce the API set to 8,000 to 10,000.
76,000! Man, that's a lot of code. I wonder how many we actually
implement (correctly)?
We will know more about that once the regression tests increase
in number and quality.
