Wine 1.0 is out

By Anthony 19 June 2008

After 15 years of hard work, The Wine team is giving us the first non beta release of the famous project. This version is numbered 1.0 and will make Wine definitivly quit the Beta world, so loved by Web2.0 applications…

It’s been awaited for so long, but even though it’s been used by many people to play games or run their Windows Apps under GNU/Linux (such as Photoshop, MS Office, etc…). But for the past monthes, the project had accelerated their development thanks to the Google Summer Of Code.

Of course, there is a long way to perfect compatibility, but none the less, we can keep this day as a great day for us Linux users because it’s Wine that gives us the chance to use applications for the other world ;)

As long as editors like Adobe will refuse to publish their software under GNU/Linux, we will have to use Wine.

Gamers will be happy with this release because most of the bugfixes are games related.

Anyway, let’s wish all the best to this great project and of course, to GNU/Linux ;)
