Wine will be a version of Windows of its' own, then.

The mountain/molehill might be this: an application checks for anomaly A.
It now "knows" it runs under Win95 OSR2 and then expects also anomaly B
present in Win95 OSR2. Wine might behave differently.
But in practice this might not be a problem. So I guess you're right,
we will deal with this stuff as it turns up.
