- ex-Microsofties got together and worked on the WINE project.

Great idea.
"Of course they would have to do it in a way that would not get them sued."
Yep, you can bet the heirarchy at MS would take a very dim view of any collaboration like that. I don't know for sure but my guess would be that Microsoft has some non-compete claus that Microsofties must sign when they are hired.
I know MS would rather the open source movement just go away. It would seem to me that for the sake of sales they would embrace WINE. Free R&D/labor creating/improving a product that will surely increase their sales is not a bad thing. I suppose MS would view that as a rubber stamp of approval of open source though.
Aluminum is good, especially for black tie affairs.
