Unfortunately many applications we have in our operating system is only available on Windows version, so many of us have a partition on our disk (or disks) with the operating system from Microsoft. Wine is an application that enables us to run applications on the Windows partition of our team. You just have to run the application with the name of the program we would like to use, and he looks in the Windows partition.

Wine 1.1.15 welcomes us to the world of Microsoft Windows, not simply because it emulates its code but because it is a real implementation of the Windows API libraries. But the difference in the technique of "encapsulation", this is translating into 100% all the code for Windows.

For the first time, can run applications running under the popular operating system from Redmond, aka Microsoft Windows, UNIX machines, even without a Windows installation. Although 100% free of Windows source code, can optionally use native Windows DLLs if they are available.

Wine 1.1.15 includes an internal development called Winelib with codes that can carry a Windows UNIX, enabling the implementation of Windows libraries unmodified on Unix machines, including Linux, FreeBSD and Solaris.
