A bit offtopic, but I find it fascinating that one guy commented earlier on how an MS sales rep claimed the "linux emulations" didn't always run Windows apps. Presumably this guy was just a normal sales team member, so it makes me wonder how well briefed MS employees are about Wine. It'd be fun to go through the mailing list system and extract hits from *.microsoft.com addresses, they probably mirror it internally if they monitor it at all. I know when I met a veep from the Passport department he was all too aware of Wine, which surprised me because he wasn't directly connected with the OS division, which makes me wonder how up to date their knowledge is. In fact, he was almost scared of it. Left an impression on me for sure.
You'll be surprised, but I think that there are at least 10+ people from MS here in this list, and they watch this list as well others (like WineX and ReWind) very carefully, and of-course, they inform people about Wine progress. (hi guys ;)
BTW - most of those people don't use their .microsoft.com email address..
