Stamping out Wine 1.2

,----[ Quote ]
| Everyone in the Wine community is driving 
| to release Wine 1.2 the newest and best 
| version of Wine.
| 
| Its been two years since Wine 1.0, and 
| weve really made huge strides. This 
| version will include the beginnings of 
| genuine 64-bit support, along with major 
| Direct3D improvements, and improvements in 
| a huge number of other areas.

Cross-platform interoperability importance to fade

,----[ Quote ]
| Linux users have relied on various methods 
| to access Windows programs, one of which 
| is the Wine project. The open source 
| effort offers users a way of running some 
| Windows programs by providing a substitute 
| layer that encompasses APIs (application 
| programming interfaces) and DLLs (dynamic-
| link libraries) for the Windows kernel.
| 
| But as Linux-based systems and Apple Macs 
| gain popularity, more software vendors are 
| catering to these OSes, said Ovum senior 
| analyst, Vuk Trifkovic.
