WINE 1.1.24 – Lastest build tested.

| The Wine project has been going for a long time.  Users who want to upgrade 
| their OS to Windows 7 and like the idea of XP mode, should note that firstly 
| XP mode is available only in the more expensive versions (apparently) and it 
| allegedly does not offer DirectX support.  Wine on the other hand has great 
| support for software (check the home page for your favorite title) it won’t 
| cost you anything, and its worth considering to try if as an unhappy Vista 
| customer you are looking for an upgrade to your OS.

| of IE, run most of Adobe's products, run World of Warcraft, Half Life
| 2, Microsoft Office 2003, XP, 2000 and 97, Visio, Quicken,
|
|     * Command & Conquer 3 Tiberium Wars

| What about drivers, hardware support, and upgrades?
