Hi,
This is just some interesting reading you guys might enjoy. It seems,
the Unix subsystem will give you the ability to create a mixed
application able to call Win32 and Unix functionality. In effect PSX
becomes like wineserver and you have to wrap your win32 libs as posix
libraries. (sound familure).

This is dated 2007 so its not really NEW news, but it is still
interesting that Wine was able to create cross platform applications
for like 10 years before Microsoft was able to with their posix
subsystem.

Thanks
