So the issue is that Wine is still not regarded as a serious project. I know 
Munich contracted a company to fix their Samba issues. Why not do the same 
for Wine? I know there's German-language companies doing this, and 
Codeweavers has an Austrian native speaker.

Yes, my point is that "Our Kindergarden app doesn't work with Wine, let's roll 
out Vista instead" sounds very suspicious to me. This is a politics issue, 
not a technical issue.
