Is Wine 1.0 ready to release..?
“Wine” The Linuxer’s favorite Programs to run Windows program on Linux and Unix platform. After fifteen Years in y\the making finally it’s almost ready for release.Alexandre Julliard, the Wine’s lead Developer said that Wine 1.0 should release in june 20. As Julliard explains, “There are several reasons [it has taken Wine so long to get to this point]: the Windows API is huge, not well documented, and full of tricky behaviors and side effects that applications depend on. It’s also a moving target, as Microsoft keeps adding new features and pushing developers to adopt them (not always successfully, fortunately for us). Also, finding what goes wrong with an application is hard, because we don’t have access to the application source code so we can’t easily see what confuses it.”. At this point there nore than thousand (1.300) Windows Application that will install ands run well in Wine with some condition.
Actually Wine is based on volunteer creation, and like any other programs there always a problem like lacked the resources for extensive quality and assurance testing. This problema is more bigger since there are so many Windows environments, Windows Applications and Linux distributions.
