  • The making of Wine (how to make Windows apps merrier with Linux)

    Jeremy White, co-founder and CEO of CodeWeavers, talked about how Wine might make IT professionals a lot merrier.

Ten days ago, the folks at CodeWeavers released the almost official version of this open source project that allows Windows programs to run on Linux and Mac desktops. Wine is on course for official release, its 1.0 version, in the next 60 days.
