This support has been around for a long time. I've used it to run DOS executables a long time ago...
It's a nice feature, but don't expect too much from it, there are just too many Windows executables that won't/can't run under WINE.
The only sure fire way to get complete support for Windows executables is to sue VMWare. Rob and I talked last night after the meeting and we mentioned that there is a project to create a binary compatible Open Source alternative to Windows. Rob, can you tell us more?
