It's not the filesystem, Dan, it's the registry, ini-file and so on. If
you don't import that, the applications are mostly unusable, because
they are not correctly installed for wine. If you import them, you have
keys that would never have been written by a wine-installation.

Might be that you have good experiences with native partitions. All my
experiences where very unpredictable and applications sometimes run,
sometimes not and crash much more often that with a pure wine
installations. But your mileage may vary.

If I remember right it's a known issue with native ie6. Has been posted
last year more often. I don't know exactly why but it is typical for
native partition runs. Had something to do with the use of parts of
explorer for filesystem access in native installations.
