Why? Wine is meant to run software "written for windows". I doubt that
many people use Wine as a platform to write software intended for windows.
So, if you run all the applications the Windows run, just better, what's wrong
with that?

Bug compatiblity is overpriced in many situations, I think this is one of them.

Anyways, Wine reports are on my todo list, I'll get back to you as soon as
I find time to check them out and postprocess a bit.
