[Wine] Re: Wine on Windows 7

[oiaohm]

Northrup they hare doing the alterations to allow it. 

Hypervisor allowing many versions of windows to be run side by side.  Everything I have seen Windows 7 is not really to make the jump.

Windows 8 maybe.

You have another nice issue.  Wine is tested a lot with gcc almost none with MSVC.   So things could get really interesting.

There are a lot of other things that will make doing it hard Northrup.  Ie MS posix layour all times recently I have looked are way out of date compared to current day posix standards.  If it was upto date the would be a good chance wine could be built there.  Thinking the MS posix layour has a gcc complier.

Also wine is C.  And the issue wine has with MSVC are not really C++ relegated.  Gcc and MSVC have different ammouts of standard incompatibility.
