It is easily imaginable that a program does "oh, that's an NT system"
and then calls all sorts of crazy NT APIs that Wine sometimes hasn't even heard of. ;-)

At least that used to be the case some time ago, which is why we largely
defaulted to Win98 operation since our NT layer used to be very weak
(it should be much better already, though).

I don't know specific example programs any more, but there have been several.

Still,

yup, I think we should try to go for that for now, despite some quite system specific
programs overwhelming us in case of an NT version.
If it turns out that it is in fact too much for us to handle soon,
then we should probably scale back to Win98 until our NT API support is strong enough.
