I wonder if at some point Wine on Linux will become better than Windows itself.

@inzen @mr_MADAFAKA as soon as the kernel rewrite happened, this is nearly guaranteed. https://augsburg.social/@schtobia/115767277911084452

There was an update to that post, where the author said it was a "misinterpretation" and that it was just a research project.

@ashleythorne true! But the Win32 ABI was the "holy grail" of Microsoft. You can run a Win95 application written under Borland C++ today! That they even _considering_ of breaking that, would be *unthinkable* a few years ago.

There was some experiment they did in the mid 2000a that was also going to be completely incompatible. It went nowhere.
