Good point. I'll buy that.

Yeah, right. It's far better to cut the baby into pieces to replace the 
part you don't like ;).

Again, this point is moot. WINE is aiming at that. It's not there yet 
but it's its goal. "Don't throw the baby out with the bath water"

1. If everybody knows *my* stance, then everybody knows *yours* too so 
you could shut up too then but...
1. ... *you* knowing my stance doesn't mean everybody knows.
3. If my posts bother you so much, just don't read them. Let me use my 
right to free speech. Thanks.
4. Give me valid point (like the hardware thing) and I'll just up. API 
compatibility isn't a valid one since it can be easily fix (more easily 
that writing a new GDI driver).
