A set of banchmarks has proven that under some conditions, WINE can beat Windows XP SP2 at some tests. To be exact, out of 147 tests, WINE beats Windows XP on 67. The WINE version used was 0.9.5, running on a Gentoo Linux system, with some fairly decent hardware.

Net is still a moving target. It simply moves in more publicized standardized versions that don't hit as often...
I said the same, I never said .NET is standstill. I just pointed out that it is not WineHQ problem anymore but Mono. So Wine has option to stabilize.
Mono on the other hand can stabilize non-Windows and Mono parts separate from Windows parts.

.
Until Mono supports windows forms it's going to be pretty useless for most everyone (other than the asp.net folk). I know they're working on that.
But when they finish that, and .Net 2.0 compatibility; .Net 3.0 will come out with things like LINQ for them to work on. And developers are typically playing with the latest toys for their main money-maker platform. So, I think that if Microsoft plays its cards right it can keep Mono a full year behind on things that people are shipping. This is a smaller gap than Wine has had, but they also got the benefit of appearing to care about standards
And I didn't mention WPF.
