    Would Wine be better with Microsoft working on it? The frequency and severity of regressions in Windows has been increasing for years now. Maybe for Wine to be a more accurate representation of Windows 11 it needs more bugs and less functionality. The Windows team is good at that.

      Yes, because Microsoft knows stuff in Windows that can be utilized in WINE. And maybe open sourcing a few parts to add to it. We are talking about WINE, an open source project where Microsoft doesn’t have the entire say. We can check and correct or reject, unlike whatever happens in closed source Windows.
