Ya know--he may have a point.

But then, I don't actually know any "free software fanatics" so it's kinda difficult for me to say....

Actually, I don't care either way. Also, this way had the side benefit of improving WINE, so it's a good thing.

I don't have much use for WINE, but anything that makes Linux better for more users is a Good Thing(tm).

I'm going to raise my hand so numbskull won't be totally alone.

Actually, I think hardware virtualization is the only real answer to the Windows on Linux problem.

I'll say one thing for the Wine guys though, I am mega-impressed. I never thought they would get as far as they did.
