Can't say I agree with that. If a user wants the Windows experience, they should get Windows. Wine enables Windows apps to run on Linux and other Unix systems, not making Linux/Unix systems behave like Windows (IMO, it should make the Windows apps behave like Linux ones whenever possible). > Preventing them from double-clicking EXEs in the file manager without > finding some arbitrary configuration option doesn't seem to be inline > with this. What about having to mark the exe as +x before Wine will load it? That's easilly doable frame any sane filemanager and provides a good level of safety.. and Wine already does a good job of making sure installed programs get +x.
