Given each application tends to have different results depending on which version of Wine is emulated, the solution to me seems that there should be a default set like now, such as XP and then the Desktop Environment should support a right click on the *.EXE where the user can select
Open With Wine Open With Wine in Win2000 Mode Open With Wine in WinXP Mode etc
This isn't about specific applications, but for the default application wine setting.
I was replying to Austins comment about applications behaving differently for vista. They already tend to do this for win2000 verses windows xp so something should be done to address this for users that are running these applications. Winecfg or another program does not feel like the right place to me and Wine needs to tie in better with GNOME in this regard.
I tend to agree the default global version should be set to XP as there is a lot of backlash against Vista and XP is going to be with us for a very very long time once SP3 officially goes gold.
