Hello
I have a question for Wine developers, not 100% related to development, so: please excuse me for wasting your time.
Officially sated, Wine wants to be 'bug-by-bug' implementation of Windows APIs. On the other hand, it is known that all (?) version of Windows contain 'hacks' to make important and not well behaving applications work (mostly workarounds for application bugs). This 'hacks' work by detecting that a faulty app is running, and turning special 'hack' mode for such app. Because of this, black box testing often used by Wine developers will not detect such workarounds, and applications that (seem to) work perfectly well under Windows, will not work under Wine.
Is there a solution for this? What is Wine devs position on this matter?
Side question: Windows could make a 'clean start' with 64 bit environment, did they?
Thank you for your time.
