Wine 1.0 — Uncorked After 15 Years

Posted by timothy on from the flows-freely dept.

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."

    Actually the commercial variant from CodeWeavers has reached version 7 today, which is saying much more about the maturity of Wine.

    I hate the "Mod this up" comments. But really. The parent here is 100% right.

    Not going to happen, sorry. Why is this modded "Offtopic"? It's definitely a response to the parent. Since it doesn't really add anything to the discussion, though, I think that it should instead be -1 Troll. :)
