Make XP emulation the default?
What would break if we made XP the default windows version in Wine? I've run into several apps that fail to install unless I change that setting lately...

The only thing I can think of off-hand is IE6. It will claim that an equal/later version is already installed (even after registry/file-system changes) if the Windows version is > Win2k. -J

+1 to making XP the default. Windows98 and Windows2000 are no longer supported by Microsoft, leaving XP as the last supported Windows OS for Home Users. James McKenzie
