Wine is an implementation of the Windows 3.x and Win32 APIs on top of X and Unix. 
Think of Wine as a Windows compatibility layer. Wine provides both a development toolkit (Winelib) 
for porting Windows sources to Unix and a program loader, allowing unmodified Windows 3.1/95/NT
binaries to run under Intel Unixes. Wine works on most popular Intel Unixes, including Linux, FreeBSD, 
and Solaris. 

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. W
ine comes with complete sources, documentation and examples and is freely redistributable. 
(The licensing terms are similar to X11.) 


Some proof that Internet Explorer is not as "integrated" as Microsoft says it is. The above 
is a real screen shot of the Windows 98 "integrated" version of Internet Explorer 4 running under 
Red Hat Linux 6.1 - no copy of Microsoft Windows is actually running. Ironically it is displaying a 
page about 98Lite, a program that installs Windows 98 without Internet Explorer. IE 4 without 
Windows 98 and Windows 98 without IE 4... now how is this supposed to be integrated?
