Windows XP x64 has an updated kernel to XP, so just setting XP in winecfg will still cause apps to fail. IE8 for XP x64 is an example.
This should most likely be done automatically on 64-bit.
Yep. That makes more sense. It's certainly beyond my capability.
The only problem then is people wanting to run 32-bit apps with 16-bit code on a 64-bit system in XP mode might have all kinds of problems if the app first checks which kernel is in use - MS in their obvious wisdom have removed the 16-bit VM from XP x64, so there probably still needs to be an option to choose the kernel version.
AFAIK it's only XP that has this problem, other 32/64 versions use the same build numbers. Hurray for Windows.

in 64-bit processor mode you can't use vm86 for 16-bit apps, so you need to use dosbox on Windows an Wine does that automaticly (but needs some more love). So 16-bit vs. kernel-versoin on 64-bit is no problem.

16-bit code doesn't need vm86.

true, i confused it with realmode
