As Wine gains functionality --- supporting Windows services, binary drivers, registry startup programs, etc --- it seems like it will be more vulnerable on this score. From my somewhat naive point of view regarding Windows malware, I would like to see Wine have the option of only running the app that I asked it to and not a bunch of other stuff that gets auto-loaded and run. An option like that could be billed as making Wine "safer" than Windows. I'm also really glad that my Wine-based product is moving away from running Wine as root! Cheers... mo
