wine users - Oct 2003 - will it?

Wine can't load windows drivers. This may be possible in a very very far

but it would probably be easier to write native drivers. Probably by the time
wine can do such a thing, all hardware vendors will support linux anyway.

I've already seen that, but I still doubt that this can be done for most
drivers, such as ACPI, video and sound.
