But this... what is this?

Pretty OS-related.

I'm sorry, but I just don't see it. Hell, the company making the acquisition doesn't even have a website, just a punny name.

As for this being OS-related, I dare say it's closer to the subject matter than, say, every report on web developments.

If that isn't news I don't know what is.
I also didn't know there was a business sector for "Wine services".

It doesn't have to be about celebrities.

Also, I don't believe Wine-Reviews is unknown to people using that particular implementation of the Windows API. The business sector for Wine services is small, but you may have heard of companies such as Transgaming and CodeWeavers.Edited 2011-01-13 11:38 UTC Thu, 13 Jan 2011 11:36:00 GMT donotreply@osnews.com (No it isnt) Comments But the question is http://www.osnews.com/thread?457514 http://www.osnews.com/thread?457514 Would this be good for the ReactOS development?

News about WINE is VERY OS related to anybody wanting to run MS Office on any *nix. I would hardly call WINE or Wine-Reviews an unknown site or the Bourdeaux Group unknown either. And as for working websites:
http://www.bordeauxgroup.com/
http://wine-reviews.net/

Sir, I think you need to do a little bit more research before you start spouting off. Or would you rather have more news about Google this, Google that, H264 this, H264 that.

I cant believed people modded you up. It's messed up.
Almost like a microcosm of politics in the greater world where voter mentality is also a real weak link.

Are here people with multiple accounts in here that vote for themselves?

Anyway read OSnews mission statement.
IT IS TO EXPLORE THE FUTURE OF COMPUTING
