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 .
More information can be read in the articles Why Wine is so important , and Debunking Wine Myths . If you are wondering how well a particular application works in Wine, please examine the Applications Database . For installation instructions and step-by-step help with running Wine, take a look at the User Guide .
Wine is free software. The licensing terms are the GNU Lesser General Public License version 2.1 .
