About Wine

Wine is an Open Source implementation of the Windows API on top of X, OpenGL, and Unix.

Think of Wine as a compatibility layer for running Windows programs. Wine does not require Microsoft Windows, as it is a completely free alternative implementation of the Windows API consisting of 100% non-Microsoft code, however Wine can optionally use native Windows DLLs if they are available. Wine provides both a development toolkit for porting Windows source code to Unix as well as a program loader, allowing many unmodified Windows programs to run on x86-based Unixes, including Linux, FreeBSD, Mac OS X, and Solaris.

Hm, haven't tested any of the new version so maybe I should give this one a try..
Anyone else using Wine, and if so; what Windows programs are you able to run using it??
I wonder how long it will take before it's possible to run windows games on Linux (at an acceptable speed and compatibility...)
