This would - at a minimum require "Wine" to be running on ARM.

I posit that I shall keep an eye on http://source.winehq.org/git/wine.gi...=commit&s=+ARM

More details of the current state of the project are http://wiki.winehq.org/ARM

I am already WAY behind on several projects and playing the eternal catchup game so don't expect quick miracles but would be interested to note other devs and users thoughts on this - even more stupid than my last one - idea. (Aren't they all?)

So yeah. Wine on a kindle. (I used the K5 / PW prefix since the overhead would likely be crippling to the older devices but hey, I'm equal opportunity)

Thoughts.? Derision? Exaltation?

They don't call it an "implausibility of Gnus" for nothing you know
I think NT-4 was the last release that supported Alpha and MIPS -
But I don't recall it ever being released on ARM.

So there may be a shortage of native Window/ARM applications to run under your Wine.
