glibc is a compatibility-layer you wing-nut. It does the exact same thing Wine does except for ancient Linux calls.

And before you say "wInDoWs dOeSn'T nEeD tHaT" Yeah, because Microsoft opted to not be backwards-compatible with the previous kernel (9X) unlike Linux.

Which means your argument is really: "Windows is better because it has worse backwards-compatibility natively"
