Is there any real, practical interest in Wine on Windows? I've been making some progress in this direction recently (though I think my approach would be to have a ported, NT-version of wineserver.exe which just uses native functions of the OS instead of emulating them over cygwin, which emulates those features using its own code once again; discussable anyway).
WBR, Aleksey Bragin.
DirectX 10 games on Windows XP :P
Seriously though, being able to run programs that ran on Windows 9x but not NT based Windows would be a pretty good use for Wine. Granted, most of those programs are games, but meh. And then there's being able to run 16-bit Windows apps on 64-bit Windows! :P
