OSNews, Generic OSes I took them 15 years. During those years, the project grew from something that didn't work, to something that sometimes under special circumstances could maybe perhaps work, to something that sometimes just worked, all the way to something that works in a number of pre-defined cases. You won't believe it, but Wine 1.0 is here.

I have been using wine for bridgebase for a few years. In that time there have been many crashes and regressions. The current version, wine-1.0-rc5, works well on FreeBSD and Debian for bridgebase.

I've actually used it for flash9 sites in FreeBSD and it seems to work well. Java still doesn't work. The only time my laptop overheated was using flash9 in windows-opera with wine. Does not get nearly as hot while rebuilding world + watching linux-flash7.
