on Jan 1st with the

releases of the 0.2.x line

some history

> 0.1.x - winhello
> 0.2.x - explorer and a few wine dlls
> 0.3.x - OpenGL games, Firefox, Mirc, OpenOffice, third party drivers,
start of PnP, USB, Xbox
> support, Initial DirectX Support, etc

and a year ago most of us

Qemu. In fact we were

Which is great! I am happy

get it to a Alpha state

> PnP - hpoussin

> msvcDDK - sedwards

least for the Xbox in my

but if its not ready I

fully support PnP.
> DirectX I have no idea how close it is to working and my current pet
project for MSVC/DDK and

DDK under msvc in the

quality of our code but I am

> So what does everyone think? Can we shot for a feeze for Jan 1st? How does
Feb 1st sound for a
