I don't think that's a good example.  While I agree that
Wine is not designed to run ALL windows software
(it'll never run arbitrary VxD's, for instance), it can and
will run Visual C++.   Visual C++ 6 works quite well modulo
one bug in ole32, and Visual C++ Toolkit 2003 installs and
runs pretty well module two bugs keeping .net 1.1 from installing.
Visual C++ 6 and 2003 will eventually work well enough to make
Windows developers comfortable.  And valgrind will support windows
apps well enough that Windows developers might... actually...
prefer... to develop their Windows apps on Linux sometimes.
