I guess in the long term a project like wine, if successfull, doesn't have to live with the restrictions put up by the environment. If I understand correctly, the reason we have to do this nasty stuff, is because the kernel is missing functionality, which the NT kernel provides. Linus has stated that he thinks the Wine project is pivotal for Linux success as a desktop operation system. The kernel guys have been pretty cooperative before and I'm sure if we tell them what we need, or even better help out implementing it, Wine could be just another toolkit, perfectly well integrated _with_ the Linux environment. > As long as wine doesn't break.
