I don't think that's a good example. While I agree that Wine is not designed to run ALL windows software (it'll never run arbitrary VxD's, for instance), it can and will run Visual C++. Visual C++ 6 works quite well modulo one bug in ole32, and Visual C++ Toolkit 2003 installs and runs pretty well module two bugs keeping .net 1.1 from installing. Visual C++ 6 and 2003 will eventually work well enough to make Windows developers comfortable. And valgrind will support windows apps well enough that Windows developers might... actually... prefer... to develop their Windows apps on Linux sometimes. - Dan
