sigh. wrong. wine does not require windows to run. wine will take
advantage of native windows dll's if found, but it can run fine w/o
them. i've run both opera and ie 3.0 w/o windows and just wine. i've
run numerous windows joke exe's that way. (why do windows users mail
.exe's to each other? don't they get enough virii?)
corel is using wine. they will not be distributing windows with it.
