There's still the registration problem, which is a regression from around wine 1.1.5 << It worked at one point.

Ok Most likely a mixed up meaning for DRM.  Direct Rendering Manager lower level X11 for rendering that does cause some interesting issues and Digital Rights Management.  Yes DRM for Direct Rendering Manager is older term that Digital Rights Management.   Yes too many things named the same.

http://bugs2.winehq.org/attachment.cgi?id=13009  << That is in wine with the registration screen working using a windows part.   Just happens to be one of the worst parts.   Its a MSHTML URL handling error in wine why it don't work at all.  Even then getting it to render right is going to be trouble.  You cannot render what you don't have the address to render.

Now if the registration will work with Wine version of MSHTML not the MS one that is a completely different question.   We will have to cross that when it works.

Big problem with trying to put non mainline patches in.  Is that since they have not been threw the mainlining process they can fight with each other creating a completely new set of bugs never seen before.   IE going backwards not forwards.
