Wine has always required more than a "little push", it's required a Saturn rocket up the ass. When compared to real solutions like SoftPC from Insignia solutions, it's not even close to being sufficient for the intended purpose (running popular Win95 binaries, in case people forgot) and I doubt that it ever will be. Sorry for the rampant pessimism but I've watched that project for going on 3 years now and I think I could grow old and die waiting for it to bear any real fruit. They bit off more than they could chew and it wouldn't be the first time somebody's done that. At this point, I'd say it'd be better to simply work on making BOCHS perform well and forget WINE ever existed.
