Your kernel IS NOT suitable for running Windows RT Applications with Wine!

Heh. Guess that about sums it up.

I got some stuff running. YMMV

If anyone fancies building a patched kernel in the future

Screenies or it never happened right?

Pictured:

WINEMINE
CMD
CLOCK
IEXPLORE

Notepad ran too FWIW

Haha...

not that I'm terribly interested in the Wine port really, but those creative addresses to indicate invalid addresses got me thinking. There is only so much that you can do with 16 characters mostly consisting of numbers, but developers are amazingly creative...

00000000 -> ... :-)
12345678 -> a variation, but also somewhat boring.
DEADBEEF -> probably the most well-known.
CAFEBABE -> actually the "magic bytes" for a Java class, so probably "invented" by Sun.
1BADBABE -> I didn't know that one before... it's probably either Windows itself, or Wine.
BAADF00D -> Microsoft Flight Simulator (yep, I toyed around with that a lot)

Do you know any other "interesting"/funny patterns?

PS: I realize that this is off-topic, so @twobob: feel free to split it off into a new thread. Right now it feels cosy here
