The point is that they wanted tips on what we have learnt along our 
journey thus far - and how they could apply that to Linux projects.
But 
I think that our WINE work may be a better idea since drivers for 
ReactOS and drivers for Linux won't share many similarities.

Yes they will until the playing field has been leveled somewhat -
which 
is where ReactOS comes in. My thinking is that if ReactOS becomes a
big 
enough player - by virtue of compatibility - then we will be able to 
influence vendor policy. What other answer do you propose?
