<P><FONT SIZE=2>The purpose of my question was to make sure that wherever we are doing changes to the product code to work-around limitations in Wine, we are doing so only when running on Wine. And, before you (or anyone else) send further flame mail, note that we are submitting fixes to Wine as and when we run into them and have a solution. </FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>We are not trying to limit the product in anyway on Linux - if any, we are trying to make sure that the end-user experience for our product when running on Linux is as painless and seamless as possible.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>So, stop being so paranoid!</FONT>

<BR><FONT SIZE=2>Let's pretend that a particular software manufacturer decides that running thier software under wine is no in the best intrest of the company. Or better yet, decides that if the program isn't running under a true Microsoft windows It will you that running program XYZ under Wine is illigal (Due to click-wrap licence agreement). Can you safely remove that key so that "menie" programs like that don't know where they are.</FONT></P>
