I honestly have no idea.  We have not been approached by them for any 
evaluations or anything.

Here is my opinion given the 15 minutes I spent looking at their site:
If all they are doing is wrappering the window and styling it, then they 
should have no problem displaying XForms.  However, XForms has 
introduced its own submission process so that may not tie in well with 
WinLIKE as it stands today.  And I would think that there are some 
events that XForms generates which WinLIKE might want to listen for. 
XForms also is XHTML based and carries all of the namespacing, etc, 
which WinLIKE isn't set up for currently, I wouldn't think.

So I don't think that there is anything from preventing WinLIKE to work 
with XForms eventually, but as it stands now I don't think that it would 
behave well.
