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.

Well done lads, it's been a long time coming (not to mention I've been watching this project for a long time).

Just goes to show that doing a clean room reimplementation of such a purposely obscured set of API's is much harder than most people realize.

After 15 years, I think these guys deserve a beer. :-)
