I think Wine is quite underestimated. At a global level, people invested unthinkable sums of money to train people into knowing it (and yeah, I've heard the arguments with MFC/Mono/etc, but all these are related to Win32 one way or another, so they fall into the same basket). If we are to kill MS and move people to Linux, the benefit that Wine brings to the global economy is huge. But we have to know to leverage it. I think a WIDE project make sense, not sure if it's politically viable. Only starting work on it will tell. Maybe post 1.0 :)
I think that project has already started, it is named ReactOS... Of course it's not based on Linux, but with your approach there's no real reason to use Linux anyway since everything goes through the Win32 API, you might as well use a Win32 kernel too. -- Alexandre Julliard julliard(a)winehq.com
