Wine was a fine dream, but come on, there's no way a bunch of volunteers could put together an emulator for a real operating system like Windows. Heck, after 14 years, Wine can't even run the average Visual Basic program! So I'm bowing to the inevitable, and have accepted a job with a popular operating system vendor working on fixing something called a "start menu"; I haven't heard the details yet, but it sounds very complex. They say I'll be leading a team of 50. If anyone's interested, please let me know; (I think the new start menu will be implemented in a mix of C# and VBScript for efficiency, so no C programmers need apply.) Cheers, Dan
