Everyone? Surely some of them say "vine".

Wine != Windows. Wine is not a kernel. Wine is not a GUI. Wine doesn't phone home. Wine doesn't come with Internet Explorer or Windows Media Player. Wine doesn't enforce Microsoft product policies upon you. Wine just translates API-calls.

There are plenty of reasons to dislike Windows (and therefore to end up with Linux) and there are plenty of scenarios where Wine can be plain useful. If you have a Windows app you need which runs in Wine there's little reason to reject it just because the "wrong API" is used.

Yeah, that was a bit of a misinformed comment, Cuiz.

Well, i had to smirk. :lol:

But of course, just because there's several good applications for Windows doesn't mean Windows is good.
