Wine 1.0 On The Menu For Desktop Linux Users

| It looks like Wine's time has finally come: Version 1.0 of the Windows 
| emulation software is now slated for a June release. And Linux users almost 
| certainly have Google -- or, at least, Google's money -- to thank for moving 
| things along.   
| 
| At this point, Wine has been in development nearly 15 years. No, that's not a 
| typo, and there shouldn't be a decimal between the 1 and 5. Of course, for 
| most of that time, Wine was an all-volunteer effort; even at the best of 
| times, the project was often sorely lacking in QA resources.   
| 
| Codeweavers, which now sponsors Wine development and uses the software as the 
| basis for its own Crossover Linux product, certainly helped to pick up the 
| development pace: Today, Wine supports nearly 1,300 Windows apps to one 
| degree or another, including outstanding support for Adobe Photoshop CS2.
