Wine is a translation layer (a program loader) capable of running Windows applications on Linux and other POSIX compatible operating systems. Windows programs running in Wine act as native programs would, running without the performance or memory usage penalties of an emulator, with a similar look and feel to other applications on your desktop.
Main changes from last release:
* Many copy protection fixes.
* GLSL is now the default for Direct3D.
* Lots of memory errors fixed thanks to Valgrind.
* Support for TOPMOST windows.
* Beginnings of an inetcomm dll implementation.
* Lots of bug fixes.
