There's some progress, so a Wine version that's usable on Windows
|
||||
might be available at some time.

Part of the rationale for these projects is to find out areas where
|
||||
Wine portability is lacking. This is especially true of the
|
||||
ReactOS project which is a reimplementation of the Windows kernel
|
||||
and should thus be able to reuse most of Wine dlls.

|
||||
Another reason for pursuing these projects is to be able to
|
||||
replace a single Windows dll with its Wine counterpart. Besides
|
||||
being a good test for the Wine dll, this lets us detect cases where
|
||||
we made incorrect assumptions about how the dlls interact.
