I would strongly oppose this, it seems to be mainly an encouragement to use proprietary software which also means having users run software on their systems we cannot support but they will expect us to. I seriously doubt it would aid migration, people will want this to run games but Wine to my best understanding does not run DirectX games very well (I tried that Cedega thing which is suppose to and it makes kittens cry with it's badness). I think this would be more pain than gain currently and the more good alternatives to applications we get which those people want to run under Wine the less relevant it becomes. We will never however make up for the mount of commercial games, but that is a non issue since in my experience since those don't work very well with Wine as it is. - David Nielsen -- "Ridicule is the only weapon that can be used against unintelligible propositions.
