Wine 1.0 — Uncorked After 15 Years

pshuke writes "After 15 years of development, Wine version 1.0 has been released. Wine is an Open Source implementation of the Windows API on top of X, OpenGL, and Unix. While perfect windows compatibility has not yet been achieved, full support for Photoshop CS2, Excel Viewer 2003, Word Viewer 2003 and PowerPoint Viewer 2003 have been among the goals prior to the release. For further information about supported applications, head over to the appdb. Get it (source) while it's hot."

Yes, we should stick with the toolbar paradigm regardless application complexity for all eternity.

You must have awful memory, as you can't even remember what you typed. Either that or your pattern recognition skills are very low.

You said:

And I've yet to see one that handles DX or GL at all, yet Wine handles it in stride.

And so, I responded to tell you about a VM that handles DirectX. Unless "DX or GL" means something other than the ubiquitous graphics APIs.

Isn't that funny? There were only two points to your post, and I replied to one of them. Yet, you had to be a dick instead of actually using your brain to figure out which half of your post I was talking about.

And I've been on Slashdot for years. Quoting is a relatively new trend, chief.

No, it's not. It's merely making a comeback. Don't be a dingbat just because you happened to join during the rush of the great unwashed.

Unlike some other programming paradigms, open source welcomes revolutions. So go start one.

Say what ? Open Source is - at best - disinterested in anything that isn't somehow UNIX(ish)-related.

Welcomes revolutions ? You have _got_ to be joking.
