Are you serious? A release candidate for a random open source project is released, and that's news you care about?
Perhaps if you were paying attention, you'd know that Wine 1.0 has been 15 years in the making. Furthermore, Wine is hardly "a random open source project", Wine reaching 1.0 is a very significant milestone.
Click on the big alphanumerical hyperlink and download the exe.
Give an alias and run it.
This will do conformance tests on your computer and it is very important to the wine project.
Don't try to do anything usefull while testing since it will do a wide range of things including directX tests which will make your screen display colorfields.
If you get errors or crashes, just click on OK or close. This is part of the testing. I'm sure the people working on the wine project will be very happy with it.

If you have a Windows installation This is/. - almost everyone here runs Windows while secretly pretending to be a Linux guru.
The people who do run Linux pretend to run *BSD, to maintain their elite status.
No one actually runs *BSD except Theo de Raadt (he actually runs NetBSD, OpenBSD is a hoax) ~

For those wondering where the latest data is: in http://test.winehq.org, click on the
"Last Modified" column twice, that will bring the latest data to the
top.
Thanks to everyone who submitted data so far! We have enough reports
for XP now, but any other version of Windows would be handy.
Be sure to run this again when wine-1.0-rc3 comes out next week.
Cheers,
Jeremy
