Wine Is Served.

Wine is served.
Hi guys. Sorry for not posting anything for a long time. Its just because i didn't find anything worth mentioning. This one is pretty interesting. Finally Wine 1.0 got released on June 17th 2008. This is the first stable release of Wine after 15 years of development and beta testing. Dont know what m talking about??? Well then, let me give you a brief introduction about Wine. Obviously, its not about french wine. Think of Wine as a compatibility layer for running Windows programs. Wine does not require Microsoft Windows, as it is a completely free alternative implementation of the Windows API consisting of 100% non-Microsoft code, however Wine can optionally use native Windows DLLs if they are available. Wine provides both a development toolkit for porting Windows source code to Unix as well as a program loader, allowing many unmodified Windows programs to run on x86-based Unixes, including Linux, FreeBSD, Mac OS X, and Solaris.
The Wine project started in 1993 as a way to support running Windows 3.1 programs on Linux. Bob Amstadt was the original coordinator, but turned it over fairly early on to Alexandre Julliard, who has run it ever since. Over the years, ports for other Unixes have been added, along with support for Win32 as Win32 applications became popular.
