           Summary: The conformance tests fail on Windows
           Product: Wine
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Other
               URL: http://test.winehq.org/data/
        OS/Version: other
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P2
         Component: testcases
        AssignedTo: wine-bugs at winehq.org

The conformance tests, that is what constitutes 'make test', are supposed to
test and document the Windows behavior so that we can then verify that Wine
behaves like Windows. This has two important consequences:
 * it means that no conformance test should ever fail on Windows.
 * it means that any conformance test that fails on Windows is useless for
making sure that Wine behaves like Windows.

Unfortunately we currently have too many conformance tests that fail on
Windows. As of today (2008/03/16), approximately 37% of the conformance tests
fail on Windows XP, 2003 or Vista. If you add other Windows versions, then this
percentage rises well above 50%.
