Is there any real, practical interest in Wine on Windows?<br>
I've been making some progress in this direction recently (though I think my approach would be to have a ported, NT-version of wineserver.exe which just uses native functions of the OS instead of emulating them over cygwin, which emulates those features using its own code once again; discussable anyway).<br>

Granted, most of those programs are games, but meh. And then there's being able to run 16-bit Windows apps on 64-bit Windows! :P</div>
