This Examples of "broken" Windows installations are VMware installations with Direct3D support enabled. VMWare has a D3D driver that works similarly to Wine, but has a few bugs that our tests stumble uppon.

This gets mentioned *every single time*.
For what it's worth, as far as I know none of the tests I run (the 'fg-xxx' ones) has that D3D driver you speak of.
They still have failures in the Direct3D tests but if you check the Windows XP results, you will see that my logs show only two Direct3D tests failing. That's very little compared to the 73 other tests that fail... for the Windows XP results alone.
So I'd like people to focus a little bit less on these two Direct3D failures and a little bit more on the 73 other failures. That the tests are being run in VMware is no excuse for not looking at them. If these 73 failing tests were fixed that would be a huge step for the conformance test suite.
