Seems it was misleading. I just wanted to point out that there was a 
pretty correct implementation
of direct3D and ddraw up to d3d8 before CodeWeavers decided to focus on 
games. That said this is very
nice what has been achieved recently in this area by current d3d 
developpers. But we shouldn't forget either that
these are also all small contributions in all different areas that help 
games work correctly.
So thanks to all of you and why I'm at it I wish you a happy new year !

A+
