-Its main goal is to provide big bugzilla updates. It also serves to inform you of what's going on around Wine. Wine is an open source implementation of the Windows API on top of X and Unix. Think of it as a Windows compatibility layer. Wine does not require Microsoft Windows, as it is a completely alternative implementation consisting of 100% Microsoft-free code, but it can optionally use native system DLLs if they are available.

-I installed Microsoft Office 2007 on a computer with Windows XP and then moved everything over to this box that has Linux on it. After moving Office 2007 over to the Linux box I had the joys of importing the registry settings from the XP install into Wine. After a week of working on this and tweaking Wine with dll overrides and registry settings I finally got most of Office 2007 to run in Wine.

-Tom also highlights a new bit of wine software, <a href="http://wine-review.blogspot.com/2008/01/bordeaux-wine-configuration-manager.html">Bordeaux</a>. Bordeaux is a new wine-package manager (for apps running under wine). I havn't yet had a chance to use it, however many of the wwn's readers may find this interesting and useful.
