Wine has been prepping for this feature for how many years now?

[ElectricPrism]

Gallium will never be merged into wine as long as it doesn't benefit corporate who cares about Mac support more than Linux since their income is mostly Mac WINE sales as I hear it.

Win7 as the default setting? I guess it makes sense from the "still supported OS" standpoint, but I don't think Wine is advanced enough to really advertise Win7-level of support...

Probably less of that and more of "Setting the prefix to Win7 fixes a ton of issues in many known cases and it's reasonably stable enough to set as default"

Then set it back to < Win7 or stop using development releases.
