| On a Side Note:

| One thing that Wine/Lindows and Reactos will need is
| to be able to run alot of the newer programs with
| tighter Mozzila/NS intigration. This was discussed a
| little during James's presentation on the Jscript.dll
| interface to Seamonkey. Some of the newer software
| loads Internet Explorers MSHTML.DLL for rendering
| and I belive that this software with a little help
| from wine could run better with tigher Mozilla
| Intergration.

Perhaps following is related:

| ActiveX Control Implementation
| Not just a similar API

| An identical one! That's right, the Mozilla control will implement the
| IWebBrowser and DWebBrowserEvents interfaces that Microsoft have
| already defined for Internet Explorer.
|
| Since the Mozilla control implements exactly the same API, it will
| mean that developers can take existing IE code and port it, sometimes
| in a matter of minutes!
