I'm pretty sure we're catching up at this point. Wine development is getting faster, and the Windows API is changing slower - Microsoft does, after all, have to preserve backwards compatibility. So, it's fair to say that even with the release of Windows 7 Wine's implementation of the API will be more complete. Especially the API for running the apps we care about. Thanks, Scott Ritchie
