Yeah of course they are done in the wineserver because Wine supports multiple processes. Thanks for the info Captain Obvious!

Of course I don't expect anything else from you, throwing random buzzwords around. Providing services is a generic term and it's not the "Windows services" one understands when talking about it (i.e. daemons). You see stuff like winedevice.exe and such, those are "system services".
Yes of course you could store such state in files for example (out of process), which is really no different than wineserver except it's even less efficient. You still need syscalls to write to the files and read them, just as you need syscalls to send requests to the wineserver and receive them. Can't be avoided, because again, it's more than one address space. Really basic stuff here.
