Apps That Officially Support Wine

Posted by kdawson on from the insert-alcohol-related-line-here dept.

David Gerard writes "Wine (the Windows not-an-emulator for Unix) runs Windows applications more often than not. (Certainly more often than Vista does.) Dan Kegel on the wine-users mailing list/forum has started gathering apps that declare Wine a supported platform. And there's now a Wine Support Honor Roll page on the Wine wiki. We need more apps that work with Wine stating that they consider it a supported platform. If you write Win32 open source or shareware, please open yourself to the wider market!"

    True! I'd much rather pirate the linux version of a game than the Windows version.

    Your comment might have been instead modded insightful instead of funny if the summary bashed XP instead of Vista.

    So thanks a lot, jerk. Now I'll lie awake all night wondering,"Was that guy serious?"

    I went to their website, but I couldn't even find a Windows port. That's so lame, if we want people to use open source software, we need to port things to Windows. Useless, I say, useless.
