The Wine tests are now passing on a Windows XP machine
(http://test.winehq.org/data/4b27dfec939d131c9d7e09f97f14dfc7dabe8843/#group _XP).
Actually, that was not the first time. On 20 Jan an XP machine passed: http://test.winehq.org/data/e9d8c9f572998054b1f9c386ea81a3570c65f2d2/#group_ XP And on 27 Jan a 2003 machine: http://test.winehq.org/data/8f829034f3fe4da3e7adce2f4685e10ba2e2fe82/#group_ 2003
Nice! Paul Vriens already mentioned this.
Quite a few of the XP and 2003 machines have 1-3 failures, so this should mean that we get more Windows machines running at 0 failures. It will also mean that we could potentially use those machines to test the inconsistencies in the test runs, like Dan did with the Wine runs when setting up patchwatcher.
This could be used to see exactly what fails when you change the DPI settings, for example. Or use a different theme. Or no theme. And other things that the user could change, doing them one at a time to get a clear "this is what changes when you do X".
See attached screenshot of what I use for my own testing purpose. This of course works well because I have only 1 system of each platform.
